As the VP of activities I will create interesting and creative events to raise money to the Nihao organization and to the foodbank as well as attracting new members for the Nihao group by making things fun.

Irina Li – Content Creation Officer

Hello! I’m Irina Li. I’m quite fond of fencing, playing volleyball, reading, drawing, and writing in my spare time. Poetry must be my favorite form of writing. As of art, I’ve learned how to draw hands. Hands are most often the most difficult aspect of drawing humans. The eyes are manageable, even pleasant, and the hair comes easily, along with proportions, so long as you practice a little. That would be all for the art tips (goodness, this bio really ran off track-), and please stay safe out there!
