Hi everyone! My name is Kaden Cole (he/they), and I am one of the Student Ambassadors for the 2023-2024 school year! I will be in my second year at Clark this year and I am hoping to graduate this Spring with my AA-DTA in Sociology. My goal after Clark is to go to WSU-V and get my BA in clinical psychology. I have been interested in psychology for a while now and I love working with people! My future career goal is to be a mental health counselor for children and adolescents.

Here are some facts about to get to know me better! I was born and raised here in the PNW and I absolutely love it here. Despite my awful pollen allergies in the Spring that won’t stop me from going outside and enjoying the sun! I also enjoy our rainy season, my favorite activity to do while it is raining is to get cozy with a book and a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate. When we do get a break from the rain I will be outside usually with my friends exploring downtown Portland or having picnics at the park. I also have two dogs currently and I love spending my time with them when I’m not up in my room playing video games or watching anime.

I am also quite the self-made artist, I do it purely for fun but I can already tell that my skills will be used around campus. I enjoy doing traditional drawing with pencil and paper, acrylic painting, and in the last few years I’ve been doing digital art on Procreate. Besides making art pieces in the mediums I’ve already mentioned I’m also relatively crafty. I recently renovated my room where I decorated, painted, and built a handful of the furniture I now use almost every day. If you ever need a hand I may be able to lend my assistance!

So far I am adoring being a student ambassador. It is so much fun and I love the people I get to work with as well as helping the students who come in to see us! If you see me around feel free to say hello!

I hope you all are doing well and I hope to see you around one day!
