Our Team
Ethan Long
Hello! My name is Ethan Long, and I’m a student at Memorial High School with a strong passion for biology, medicine, and public health. I’m fascinated by how science can improve lives—not just in hospitals or labs, but in everyday communities.
As a volunteer with BestBridgeToHeart, I’ve had the opportunity to connect directly with families and help support initiatives that prioritize access to care and health education. I’m passionate about not only listening to the needs of others but also helping to bridge the gap between science and the people it serves.
Outside of this, I’ve volunteered as a hospice aide and worked with local community centers, experiences that have deepened my compassion and strengthened my desire to pursue a career in medicine. I'm especially interested in public health and how we can better spread accessible, actionable information to help people take care of themselves.
When I’m not volunteering or studying, I’m usually at marching band rehearsal, playing basketball, or lifting at the gym. These experiences have taught me discipline, teamwork, and a deeper appreciation for how the human body performs and recovers.
Through all of this, my goal is clear: to combine my love for science, my commitment to service, and my drive to create a future where I can help others live longer, healthier lives—starting with the communities around me.
Nathan Long
My name is Nathan Long. I am a seventh grader at Memorial Middle School, and my favorite classes are Math and Science. I love Math because solving a challenging problem is incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy Science because it’s fascinating to learn how things work—like how body systems function together or how DNA serves as the blueprint for life.
Outside of school, I play the flute, and it’s been really fun to improve my skills over time. I also enjoy chess because it challenges me to strategize and think ahead. On weekends, I like relaxing and hanging out with my friends. Another thing I love is contributing to my community—helping others brings me a lot of happiness.
Andrew Sun
Nice to meet you! My name is Andrew Sun, and I’m a freshman at Memorial High School. I run for the school track team and have a strong passion for biology and math. Some of my hobbies include reading, playing basketball and baseball with friends, and practicing golf. Over the years, I’ve grown to value the importance of both education and community service. I have volunteered for NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) and MMOB (a Memorial High School volunteering club). Best Bridge to Heart allows me to accomplish my goals of giving back to the community.
