Nicole Eira Chik

Over the past few years, I have conducted quantitative marketing analysis research and contributed to publications in labor economics, climate science and high-energy physics, collaborating with industry

professionals and mentors at Columbia University. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley.

Co-founded Quest, a social networking platform that connects people through shared experiences, discovery, and a more adventurous approach to everyday life. Built to foster meaningful community in a way traditional social platforms often miss, Quest reimagines how people meet, explore, and engage with the world around them.

Uncovering the world’s most unforgettable bites! From sizzling street food stalls to under-the-radar culinary gems, to unheard of neighborhoods in the middle of Morocco, I dive deep into the flavors,

techniques, and human stories behind every dish. Curating an insatiably curious guide to the meals worth traveling for.

Last year, while representing Hong Kong in the Marathon des Sables, I leveraged the platform and opportunity to partner with the Hong Kong Dignity Institute to organize a fundraising and awareness campaign supporting local refugees, victims of human trafficking, and other vulnerable members of our community.
