Heya! I’m Ziyad El Amrani. I’m in my last year as a Clark student majoring in Applied Science in Applied Management. Guided by a passion for Healthcare, Non-profit, and Sports, I’ve embarked on a quest to uncover the boundless possibilities this degree holds after I graduate this upcoming Spring!

Growing up in the vibrant landscapes of North Africa and briefly in the sun-drenched streets of Spain has been a whirlwind adventure of its own. From the bustling markets to the stunning coastlines, I’ve had a front-row seat to the magic of these incredible regions. This summer, I brought a taste of these experiences with me as I embarked on a trip to both Morocco and Spain, where I visited family and friends. I was excited to travel to areas I had not visited before. And let’s not forget that I had the opportunity to ride a camel to a remote traditional market to purchase some authentic handmade crafts and fabrics, which felt like a scene straight out of a blockbuster movie. Trust me, it was legendary!

Oh, and did I mention I’m a bit of a language enthusiast? I’m fluent in three different languages: Arabic, French, and English, thanks in part to my time in these diverse corners of the world. So, whether we’re conversing in the poetic flow of Arabic, the elegant nuances of French, or the universal language of English, we’re sure to find common ground!

Now, let’s talk ambassadorship! As a returning ambassador for the second year running, I’m even more stoked to continue being the bridge between our amazing community and Clark College. It’s not just about shaking hands and giving tours (although there’s plenty of that too). As an ambassador, I’ve had the chance to meet and work with an incredible team of other Ambassadors who are basically my besties now and an incredible Entry Services team that is always here to support us. As a Student Ambassador, I found a canvas to paint my vision of a connected and empowered community. Through this role, I’ve witnessed the extraordinary impact that a group of dedicated individuals can have. Whether it’s hosting events, group visits, welcoming days or just answering general questions and helping students with their very first steps to attend College and pursue their dreams. Being an ambassador has been a beacon of purpose.

When I’m not diving into textbooks or spreading ambassador cheer, you’ll find me playing video games, watching sports, or reading books. However, I would say that I spend a lot of time in the kitchen since I’ve got a knack for cooking all sorts of dishes. Specifically, Mediterranean and Moroccan food. On top of that, I am also a certified foodie who loves to try all sorts of foods and snacks.

I’m looking forward to the adventures that this academic year has in store and can’t wait to meet all of you out there in the Clark College community. If you ever want to chat or have some questions, feel free to reach out! Let’s connect and make the most of this journey all together.
