About Adrian Kimmok

Adrian Kimmok is a senior at West High School. He was born in Argentina and spent a portion of his childhood there before he immigrated to the United States. He currently resides in Torrance, California. As a first generation student, international relations has always been a significant interest of his. In fact, he would often find himself participating in organizations like Model UN and Amnesty International and enrolling in courses that concern foreign affairs and politics. Although there is such a wide and fascinating spectrum of international relation topics, human rights is the center of Adrian’s concentration. Evidently, because Americans for Informed Democracy does so much work regarding critical issues like nuclear non-proliferation, climate change, US foreign assistance and sexual and reproductive health, he has easily been able to engage in and get involved with the organization–even though he has only been with AID for a year! As a high school student, most of his leadership skills have grown from experiences with delegating various chapter clubs. Locally, Adrian also participates in student leadership councils/groups where he helps coordinate activities throughout the community. Adrian believes being able to successfully organize events after putting forth time and effort is wonderful and what makes it even more rewarding is when you do it with other students. Through communication, teamwork, and respect, students–when working together–can reach amazing, new heights
