Our People
TheBrainReachTeam
Raphael Onuoha
From a young age, I always looked towards the future — one full of scientific advancement. Having originated from a community with little resources and STEM involvement, I started BrainReach to empower kids just like me who wish to learn about the crux of human existence: the brain.

I'm a vegan activist for animal rights and I love teaching neuroscience.
Rhea Rebba
From a young age I've had the drive and compassion to become a medical professional. From researching to actively shadowing physicians, I've gained a new perspective on the medical field. BrainReach's message aligned with mine: getting more kids excited about neuroscience.

My fascination with neuroscience stemmed from an early age, deeply curious about the ways our brain shapes human behavior and health. I joined BrainReach because I believe everyone — regardless of background — should have the chance to learn about the fascinating world of neuroscience.

Psychology is fascinating to me, and I think everyone should understand how and why we think — in order to make the world more understanding. I help with coordination, logistics, and education at BrainReach, and I'm extremely proud of what this team has built.
