Hi ark family! I am a senior at Kimball High School and I am so excited to be your 2022-2023 NorCal ARK Council Co-Coordinator. During my sophomore year of high school, I joined ARK in interest of showing people kindness and putting a smile on their face. Since I was little I have always wanted to put a positive impact on the world and help others. Joining this club had allowed me to not only impact the world positively but also this community ARK has built.

Fun fact: I do Track and Field and I love to read!

hi ark fam! my name is Julia Cordero and I will be a senior this coming term (2022-2023) at Kimball High School. I will serve as your co-coordinator for our NorCal Council and co-president for Kimball ark. To serve all ark members is a complete honor. Ark is not just a club to me, rather a family, a place to connect and form relationships, and a police for me to expand my creative outlet through leadership roles. I believe we have a strong and efficient team this year, that will do its best to make all ARK clubs thrive. We will make it out main goal to spread kinds in all aspects of life.

HELLO HELLO EVERYBODY ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡! My name is Jina So and I will be a senior for the 2022-2023 school year at Independence High School. I go by she/her pronouns! One of my hobbies is starting a large collection. Notably, when I was younger, I started a Littlest Pet Shop toy collection and I have finished the collection with over 500 toys. I also enjoy reading comics (mangas, manhwas, manhuas, and etc.)! Whenever I have free time, I am usually reading something. For this term, I will proudly be serving as a co-secretary of the ARK Council team. From the moment I joined ARK at my high school, I was welcomed with open arms by a kind community :). Despite being in a club without many friends as an introvert, I always felt included and excited for the next ARKtivity. ARK has helped me understand the joy in helping others and giving back to the community. I am truly grateful for ARK for helping me become the person I am now and giving me the confidence to apply for the co-secretary position of ARK Council. I am extremely hopeful for this year and will do anything in my ability to support ARK’s growth ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)!

ARK gives me a space to be surrounded by others who share the same values and motivations. ARK has allowed me to integrate into high-school and find a place to feel like I belong. Through ARK I am able to express my love and support for my community and beyond. ARK has become an important cornerstone of who I am and what I represent.

Hello everyone my name is Jenny Liu, I’m going to be a senior at Independence High School. I love spending my time catching up on shows like on kdramas or anime, and sketching throughout the day usually.

Hello ARK Family!!! My name is Ina Obaldo, and I am an incoming senior, who is also incredibly delighted to serve as your Digital Media Chair for this 2022-2023 term! Having grown up as rather introverted and being placed in a socially distanced time, clubs sparked feelings of interest into me, as they allowed me to create new memories and formulate leadership and social skills to last me a lifetime! I specifically took a liking to ARK, however, due to the club’s focus on inclusivity alongside simply being kind for that sole reason, without there being an ulterior motive. I am excited for this term and hope to further spread kindness and increase ARK’s impact on our environment!

Fun Fact: Some of my hobbies include playing volleyball, reading, biking, and crocheting!
