FinalistBio
Hi! I'm Taya Ohmer. I’m going into my first year of college at UC Irvine, double majoring in Art and Business. I hope to create unity and positive change through my art, while helping heal as many people as possible through business.
As co-owner and Head of Marketing for Illumin Wellness, I’ve led campaigns that helped people find healing and confidence in there own skin through cryotherapy and red light therapy. I also taught myself to code and designed the company’s website. This work has inspired me to one day launch a marketing company that empowers minorities by helping them overcome barriers in business.
In case you need something to remember me by—I have three kidneys!
My goal is to make a lasting impact on my community and beyond.
