Arianna
Event Coordinator
Hi my name is Arianna! I am the Event Coordinator for Active Minds at York University. My job is to plan events for you guys that are fun while spreading awareness for mental health. I am currently in my second year of Honours Psychology and I hope to go on to be a Psychologist. It’s my belief that one of the most important things to protect our mental health is to bring awareness to it and break the stigma. We all just need a bit of help getting through the tough times and that’s what I hope to do. Some of my favourite hobbies are reading and listening to music.
Shauna
Event Coordinator
Hi, I’m Shauna and I am one of the event coordinators at Active Minds. I am currently in my fourth year in the Humanities. I joined Active Minds because I wanted to increase awareness regarding mental health, particularly through the coordination of fun events that can hopefully lower everyone’s stress levels. One fact about me is that I really love art, particularly painting and drawing.
