Psychological Services & Personal Counseling

Meet Our Wellness Ambassadors

Zainab Ali

I’m a second year Psychology major. It is my goal to get into the therapy and clinical psychologist industry. I became an ambassador because after going through my own mental health journey with anxiety, I wanted others to have the same opportunity and access to the resources they need. I truly believe that mental health should be just as prioritized as physical health. With so many resources available, it can be hard to find a place to start. I hope to be someone that anyone can turn to for help and find something that works best for you, especially as we make the transition back to in-person. I love traveling, making videos, listening to music, and spending time with the people I love!

 

Aliza Desiatnik

Hi! I’m Aliza, and I’m a third-year student here in foothill. I major in kinesiology, and I pursue a career as an athletic trainer/sports psychologist. My dream job would be encouraging athletes to become physically and mentally stronger to prepare for the challenges ahead. As one who struggled with mental health personally, I know the importance of a strong support system impacts one’s wellbeing. I wanted to become part of the psychological services and help promote mental health awareness and encourage students to get help when needed. I enjoy writing, working out, singing, going to concerts, and hanging out with my family in my free time.

 

Danielle Vintayenm

My name is Danielle and I’m a first-year student majoring in Biology. I’m planning on becoming a Physician’s Associate in the future. I’m currently part of the Pre-STEM cohort here at Foothill. My goal as a Wellness Ambassador is to reduce the stigma around mental health issues and emphasize the importance of taking care of mental well-being. I also believe in the importance of building a tighter community where people feel safe and comfortable to express themselves. I hope to increase my knowledge on mental health topics as an ambassador and apply in ways it can help myself and others. In my free time, I enjoy doing shopping sprees at Barnes & Nobles, listening to music, and baking!
