Edric is studying human biology and Spanish at Stanford University. In spring 2015, Edric, along with two classmates, started The Kind Initiative at his school in which students promote and deliver small random acts of kindness across campus. He believes in the domino effect and that small deeds can start a movement. Edric recognizes the importance of kindness and believes that it was his friends, family and community who helped him get to where he is today.
Edric chose the sea otter as his spirit animal not only because of their love for social interaction, but also because of their intelligence and resiliency.
