I'm Denis Andria, and this is i2Vibes! Our dedicated and passionate team all came together during the 2023 Stanford summer session.
The stars aligned, but the future was ours to seize. This joint venture, i2Vibes, perfectly embodies our core values as a group. We believe in fostering growth and spreading positivity in an ever-evolving digital age, understanding that not everything revolves around profit. As Chapter President and Marketing Director, I wholeheartedly endorse this vision. Our nonprofit's mission is to create a platform that tailors content not to what generally appeals for user retention and conversions, but to what positively resonates with users. Marketing analytics affirm the intrinsic benefits users gain from such a service. By reshaping the dynamics of traditional social media platforms, we're crafting a social network that embodies what society's social networking should truly be: uplifting, positive, and growth-oriented interconnectivity. Managing and nurturing this app has been and will always be a profound pleasure for me. Expect many great developments from us, as our team collectively aspires for significant success in our future joint ventures.

I'm super stoked to be a part of the i2Vibes team. I'm really passionate about computer science and its applications in the real world, as well as positive community impact.
I've worked in ML through robotics and the CS club that I founded, and I also extensively tutor. Working with i2Vibes allows me to take both of these passions and combine them, bringing positivity to my local, and hopefully global, community.

Upon short observation, it is easy to tell that many are suffering from some kind of mental strain, some more severe than others. I believe it would be helpful to employ newly innovated methods to not only address, but to also prevent depression in all people, regardless of age. I hope to use platforms to spread awareness beyond barriers to allow people to experience [cognitive] harmony anywhere.

Stanford Summer Qtr. Student | President of Belgrade FFA | Senior at Belgrade HS
Having struggled with depression in my past, I wish I had the resources that Cognitive Harmony offers. No teen should have to deal with depression alone and through Cognitive Harmony I hope that I can contribute to preventing and destigmatizing mental illness. We have the capability to make real change and it’s truly an honor to contribute to it.

Untreated mental illness is an epidemic that plagues teens all around the world. It is a problem that I want to solve because mental illness shouldn’t prevent a person from enjoying life to the fullest. However, many individuals cannot do so because the resources needed are out of reach.
For instance, many of my closest peers suffer from these conditions, but cannot find the help they need. Incompatible therapists, unstable households, or a stubborn attitude are only a few obstacles that can prevent teens from receiving any form of aid. Sometimes, I helplessly listen to my friends talk about their troubles without any way to properly support them. I joined this team to make an impact and help those in need. Whether it is my closest friends or a teen from another country, I want to reduce mental illness around the globe. To do so, working on this nonprofit will aid teens who lack the proper support systems and reduce future cases from happening. With this goal in mind, I will strive to work with this nonprofit in aiding those in need, but the finish line won’t be succeeding in the role I play for this nonprofit, it will be to help each individual to enjoy life to the fullest.

It is my pleasure to be part of the i2Vibes team!
