Meet the Chapter Leads

Hi, I’m Payton Elder, a high school student from Dallas, Texas with a love for music, literature, and people. I enjoy running for the St. Mark's Cross Country Team and singing for the St. Mark's Choir. In joining this initiative, I wish to spread empathy and compassion.

I’m Emory Turner, a junior at The Episcopal School of Dallas. I value inclusion and supportive communities, serving as Social Media Manager for my school’s Acing Autism startup to foster awareness through tennis and outreach. I’m active in Speech and Debate, Mock Trial, the Garden Restoration Club, and contribute to Itinerary, our literary magazine, while also pursuing film. Outside of school, babysitting and chauffeuring have strengthened my responsibility and compassion. Advocacy has shown me the impact of helping others feel seen, and I’m passionate about using my creativity and leadership to support inclusive initiatives.

Christine Park is a high school student at the Hockaday School. She joined Go Beyond Infiniti because of her experiences with children with disabilities while volunteering at the Rays of Light Organization. In her free time, she draws and sews. She also runs and does Korean traditional dance. She is currently working on a Girl Scout Gold Award Project relating to Autism awareness and acceptance.

I'm Nandana R. Roy, a 15-year-old student who believe in the power of expression and inclusion. Whether it's through Bharatanatyam, violin, art, or debating at the international level, I've learned that every voice and every form of expression matters. My passion for marine life conservation and dream of becoming an architect come from the same place: a desire to crete a world where all are valued and protected. I care deeply about the cause and want to stand for the belief that autistic people deserve for their voices to be heard and celebrated.

Hi, my name is Mary Claire Zimmer, and I live in Bakersfield, CA. I love to play tennis, read, and spend time with friends and family. My passion is to go to medical school and become a doctor. I love volunteering and helping out my community, which is why I decided to join Go Beyond Infiniti. In joining this initiative, my goal is to help spread autism awareness in Bakersfield.
