Miriam Streicker-Hirt
Founder and Director of Outreach
Hi! My name is Miriam and I’m a sophomore at UCLA, attending online classes for the foreseeable future. It’s hard to adhere to the guidelines that have completely upended our lives, but I find it easier when I remember that I’m not just doing this to keep myself safe. I wear a mask for my family, I social distance for the health of my neighbors, and I started SF Strong because I know that all of us can do more to keep each other safe.
Emma Coleman
Co-Director of Marketing and Director of Branding
Hi! My name is Emma and I’m a third year at Hamline University in St Paul, MN. I am majoring in Marketing and Studio Arts, with a focus in Printmaking. In my free time, I am an avid gardener, hiking enthusiast, and dog/cat mom. I love exploring nature in the Denver, CO area, where I am currently based. Being part of SF Strong has allowed me to use my creativity and business knowledge to help the community I grew up in from a distance. I work with an amazing group of talented students who are all dedicated to the safety of San Francisco.
