Eden Tsvetkov

Class of 2027
Major: Creative Writing
Hometown: Seattle, Washington


Eden Tsvetkov is a creative writing major with a minor in politics and law. She believes that true leadership is about bringing out the best in people and yourself and that lasting positive change arises from passionate and supportive communities. She was involved in leadership work throughout high school and her first two years at Carnegie Mellon. As always, some of her initiatives were successful and some weren't, and she takes lessons from both types of experiences forward with her. She is particularly passionate about education equality and helping youth. Her creative writing major informs a lot of the work she does in the leadership space; she's interested in the way stories bring communities together. She loves participating in the Community Engagement Fellowship because it connects her with kind, brilliant and inspiring peers, instructors and local leaders.
