I am excited to lead Active Minds this year and look forward to meeting new faces at our upcoming events. An interesting fact about me is that I’m mixed-handed, which means I use my left hand for some tasks and my right hand for others.

Alex

Vice President


Hey guys, my name is Alex Najafizadeh and I’m in my 3rd year of undergrad studying Kinesiology and health sciences. I will be one of your Vice Presidents this year and I hope with the help of everyone we can make a difference and show what this club is all about. I’ve had times myself where I struggled to find resources to help my mental health and by joining the Active Minds team I hope I can make an impact and raise awareness for everyone who’s had struggles of their own.

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.

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.
