Board Advisors
Beejal Northrup
Beejal has spent the majority of her life in southern California and currently resides in Orange County with her husband and three children. For over 25 years, Beejal has always dedicated a portion of her time to helping children learn and realize their potential, whether through volunteering for youth programs or through the Sylvan Learning Centers that she and her husband have operated since 2011. She earned her undergraduate degree from UCLA, where she spent three years mentoring children in the Los Angeles area. Since then, she has always found ways to connect with young aspiring children and teens, and feels that helping them find confidence and teaching them to believe in themselves is one of the most important values that she can help children learn. She hopes to be able to positively influence the lives and futures of many more children through this organization.
Brandon Fox
Brandon, a Southern California native and recent Texas transplant, is dedicated to making society a better place. Similar to his BTSU peers, he is determined to improve the lives of children in our local communities by providing them with opportunities that they may not have otherwise. Graduating from California State University, Long Beach in 2002, he has been involved with the local community for over 15 years through numerous organizations, volunteering events, and corporate sponsorships. Most recently Brandon has volunteered his time with the Fort Worth Boys & Girls Club, CASA of Tarrant County, and Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). Understanding that children in our local communities are not always afforded the same opportunities and role models, Brandon hopes to have a second career as an elementary school teacher once retired from his corporate career to focus his time and efforts on this social concern.
