A little about Ambassador Kailey
Hi everyone, my name is Kailey Paul and my pronouns are she/her. I have been a student at Clark College since 2020. Therefore, I am in my sophomore year at Clark, as a running start student, so I am also a senior in high school. If anyone needs help with running start questions, I have first-hand experience with it and will do my best to answer your questions or find an answer for you. This year I am one of the new student ambassadors for the 2021-2022 school year and I am excited to help find answers to your Clark College questions. I became a student ambassador, because I wanted to meet new people and I enjoy helping people, so this was a great experience to do both.
I am a native of the area, I was born and raised in Pacific Northwest accordingly I know the area like the back of my hand. I also know a lot of beautiful hikes and water holes that I frequent during the summer. Most of the year, I stay indoors, because of all the rain and do most of my outdoor activities during the summer. I am very driven and want to enjoy every passing moment. This is why I tend to research to find new experiences to explore the world. When I am not at work you will probably catch me either binge-watching anime, trying new foods, and playing escape games.
Once I graduate high school I am planning on going to the University of Washington(UW) as a computer science major. During my time at UW, I want to spend a quarter studying abroad in Japan. I have always had a big fascination with Japanese culture and the country, so I am super excited to hopefully get to live there for a while. Well, I can’t wait to meet new people at the one stop and hope you all are having a wonderful time at Clark College like I am. There are so many resources Clark offers, so if you ever need anything we probably have it. I can’t wait to meet everyone and make a impact at Clark College.
Meet Ambassador April
Hi Everyone,
I am one of your new ambassadors, April. I am originally from Hermiston, Oregon but have moved around a lot in Oregon until we landed in Washington in 2002(ish). I am a mother of 2 amazing and kind children. Avrie is my oldest son, age 14, and started high school this year. Yes, that does make me feel really old if you are wondering. I also have a very silly son named Skyler who is 11.
I am currently wrapping up my AAS to become an addiction counselor. I choose this field because I have been deeply affected by addiction in many ways. I love working in the field of human services. I feel like I handle the stress of the job really well. I am also starting Clark’s Bachelors of Human Services degree and hope to have that wrapped up in the next couple of years. I feel like as a student you have to really be passionate about the major that you choose. I am so very excited to see where my degrees here at Clark are going to lead me.
I choose to go back to school after 13 years, not only to better my life, but to set a good example for my children. I am the first person in my family to pursue a Bachelors degree and am hoping that I have started a positive set of chain reactions for the next generation in my family.
I hope to get to know more students on campus and to be as helpful as possible! We all know getting started in college can be a challenging process, but us student ambassadors are here to help!
About Student Ambassador Irene
Hello penguins, welcome back at Clark!
My name is Irene Li, and my pronouns are she/her. Glad and excited to be one of the student ambassadors this year. Taking my third and last academic year at Clark includes one quarter of fully on-campus and one year of online studying experiences, and I am ready to share and help you all with these experiences I have!
I am an international student from Hong Kong (born and raised.) It is my 2nd year in the states in which I am glad that my cousins and some relatives are here in Washington who help me a lot to settle in here. Although I am the only child of my family, I am loved and supported by my 14 aunties and uncles and about 28 cousins from my mother’s and father’s sides. We all love traveling, and we have family trips annually. We spent a few days in Camano Island this spring. It was so much fun even with a little bit of rain so I can’t wait for the next one!
As mentioned before, this is my third year at Clark. I am working on my associate degree in science- track 2 (AST2) in the hopes of transferring to the University of Hong Kong or UW to acquire my bachelor’s degree in Architecture. I am studying full-time in civil engineering, with 15-16 credits this and the upcoming quarters. Thanks to meeting my classmates in person, I have found some who share the same class and even the same schedule, so we set up a study group. That is adding color to fight against all odds in the crunch time of studying because after studying alone, you can see how others interpret and understand the concepts and give each other a hand when they are in need.
While working as a student ambassador and studying full time have filled up most of my plate, I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends: doing binge-watching on dramas and movies, shopping, dining out, etc. Apart from socializing with people, I love to spend some time with myself too. For my pastime, I usually listen to music, read a little bit, doing yoga, sketching, and so on. These come in handy to relieve my stress and keep me positive.
I have tried the MBTI, a personality test for 3 times which resulted in all different results. So please don’t freak out when my answer for my personality is: was INFJ, turned to ESFP, become INTJ. Or, I would simply sum up that I am an introvert who is slightly extroverted and would rather stay in than out. Besides, I’m more likely a dog person after living with my aunt and her puppy Bobo because he is so adorable. He is a chihuahua mixed with pinscher, and his name has a particular meaning of my baby in Chinese. He is currently living with my cousin and I can’t wait to see him again in person. All in all, if you have any questions, want to know more about college, want some college tips, or just want to chat, I’m all ears and always here!
