ARK has always stood out to me because of the various events and ARK's vision of spreading positivity in our community. Over the past three years, I've learned that no matter how small, one act of kindness can go a long way! ARK means a lot to me because it motivates me to continue to be kind throughout hardships that I might face throughout my life. As a proud member of ARK, I am so excited to be a part of the ARK Council as an Event Coordinator!

Fun fact: I'm lactose intolerant and I love black tea :)

During my sophomore year of high school, I took an interest in ARK because their values truly stood out to me. Although I was quite busy with Track and Field and Key Club, as well as AP classes, I believed that it would be a great idea to partake in this club’s activities. Ever since I was in middle school I have always wanted to impact the world and the community positively. ARK was able to give me a chance to complete this goal of mine, whilst allowing me to make new friends in a healthy environment. Fortunately for me, I was given the opportunity to run as Vice-President in our club at Kimball. This club has taught me so much about having positive energy and how one simple action could bring lots of smiles. I am very grateful and ecstatic to be this year’s NorCal ARK Council Co-Coordinator alongside the sweet and hardworking Joyce Feng. I don’t know where I will be in the future come, but I am very lucky to assist in bringing a little hope and kindness into the world!

Fun fact: I’m very into astrology and love boba!

I came into high school knowing that I wanted to make a difference, through both small and large impacts. ARK club has given me that opportunity. From being a club member to Vice President, ARK has changed me in ways that I never thought would be possible. I strongly live by kindness and positivity, and I’m so proud that I can help share our mission with the community. I have created so many memories and friendships through ARK, all the while seeing smiles, laughter, and spreading kindness onto others. I will always remember that positivity is a ripple effect, and will forever share ARK’s message!

Fun fact: I REALLY love bees!

I joined ARK in my freshman year because ARK’s mission stood out to me. I loved how the club focused on the wellbeing of others by combating negativity with kindness along with inspiring others to spread kindness beyond their communities. My passion for ARK continued to grow in these past three years, through its various activities and events. ARK has helped me learn that even the smallest acts of kindness can go a long way and positively impact someone’s day.

Fun fact: I like to occasionally knit random projects!

Being a member of the ARK club since freshman year, this club has become a home for me. The club’s purpose of spreading kindness has caught my heart from the start and has motivated me to keep creating those kindness ripples. Moreover, I am very glad and excited to be on the ARK Council this year, serving as Digital Media Chair! Although there will be some adjustments this year, let’s keep creating those kindness ripples!

Fun fact: I have a boba addiction :))

I've been in ARK since my sophomore year along with sports such as Cross Country and Track and Field. I've always wanted to somehow make an impact, no matter what size, with the use of kindness. That's why I was excited when I found out about ARK. ARK made it easy to use my ideas and creativity to benefit others around me and let me be a part of a team with the same intentions. I'm really grateful for this position and to be able to take it one step further on bringing more joy into this world.
