Basil served as Freshman Class President in his first year at Menlo and has recently been elected to be one of the leaders of Oaks Innovation Club, the biggest entrepreneurship club on campus. He loves to use his passion for public speaking to pitch new ideas that make a positive impact on society as well as to motivate and empower other people. Basil pitched a Startup idea that supports homeless people in San Francisco at a Startup Weekend competition, in which the judges gave his team the 1st place award. After being awarded at another Startup Weekend, Basil is currently one of the lead organizers of SW Silicon Valley Womxn, organizing an event that has the purpose to promote gender equality in the entrepreneurial environment.
His desire to help others to improve and change their habits inspires Basil to establish new initiatives - such as the #28daychallenge- and to live a life with purpose.
