Meet Our Wellness Ambassadors 2022-2023

Ana Sofia Aldrett

My name is Sofia and I´m a first-year student majoring in Chemical Engineering. I plan on working in an environmental-related field since that is my passion. My goal as a Wellness Ambassador is to encourage students to ask for help when they need it and spread awareness that it is okay to do so. I hope to help build a stronger community for students to feel welcomed and supported. I hope to gain more knowledge about mental health and spread the knowledge I already have as an ambassador, but also to be a resource for other students that want help. In my free time, I like to exercise, go on walks, read, meet new people, and travel.

Chinna Nguyen 

Hello! I am a first year sociology major. In my free time I like driving around San Jose and eating at the latest food spots, I also love listening to music and browsing social media. My goal for the future is to become a social worker or a marketing manager. My goal as a Wellness Ambassador is to build a comfortable community where people are more open to share their feelings and how their mental health is. I want to encourage others to be able to reach out for help if they’re ever going through troubling times. As someone who has had mental health issues in the past and was able to push through them, I’d like to share my knowledge among others on ways to cope or give self-care tips if reaching out isn’t an option. I hope to be able to reach out to as many people as possible and learn along the way. 

Michelle Thi

Hi everyone! This is Ye Thi but I go by Michelle too so it's easier and less hassle. I am a second year student here at Foothill majoring in Public Health Science and doing my prerequisites for Dental Hygiene Program. As an international student, I know how crucial an individual's wellbeing is, especially when we all are away from home. When I first moved here last year, I was welcomed with heaps of love and warmth from my peers and professors here at Foothill and I really want to spread this love and kindness as a wellness student ambassador. I enjoy exploring new places, eating out, doing Pilates and going to music festivals in my free time.

Jennie Zhou

Hi everyone! I’m Jennie and I’m a second-year student majoring in cognitive sciences. With a goal of seeking ways to identify behavioral signs of mental health issues early on, this sparked my interest in artificial intelligence engineering where I hope to use AI to improve outcomes in regards to psychological health. As a Wellness Ambassador, I hope to be able to cultivate a safe space where other students are encouraged to come together and engage in mental health discussions. Having gone through my own trial with mental health, I hope to advocate the importance of introspection and self-compassion. In my free time, I love video editing, reading, finding new food places with friends, and discovering new music!
