meet the board!

Hello! I am Taylor and I joined Made with Love my first year because I loved the mission statement and wanted to learn a lot of new crafts while donating what I made along the way. I later interned and have since gotten a chance to be the Social Media Coordinator and now the Co-President! Everyone I've met at Made with Love has been super welcoming and supportive and I hope that all of you can find some joy in our community. I look forward to meeting all of you!

Hello! I'm Kayleigh, and I am so excited to be one of your Co-Presidents for the 2024-25 academic year! I remember I first joined Made with Love because I love crafting (sewing and jewelry making in particular!) and I was so inspired to find a community of passionate crafters that is dedicated to giving back to the community. Being a part of Made with Love has undoubtedly been a valuable experience for me, and attending the events for this club has never failed to brighten my day I am so excited to meet all of you, and I'm looking forward to a wonderful 2024-25 term!

Hello, I'm Heather! I joined MWL because I love doing arts and crafts like paper quilling and felt plushies and was drawn to their motto: Crafting with a purpose. I get to do a variety of arts and crafts from club workshops, socials, and monthly projects where I can give back to the community. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming, making it a comforting place I look forward to going to after a day of classes.

Hello everyone my name is Vanessa! I joined Made with Love because I really liked the club’s goal of creating crafts to give back to those who needed it. I was really glad that I had the opportunity to do something that I love and help our community as well! I’m so glad that I joined this club because from the beginning everyone has been so kind and supportive, and our projects and meetings have always been a highlight during my first year at UCI. I look forward to meeting everyone in the coming year and I hope that we can make a lot of great memories together! :D

Hello everyone! My name is Sania and I am your Social Media Coordinator for this year! I joined Made with Love because I LOVE to craft and do little art projects so when I was introduced to this crafting club, I immediately fell in love. Along with this Made with Love serves its community through crafting which is something I truly admire. The people in this club also make it an enjoyable experience as they are super welcoming and friendly! I can't wait to serve as this years social media coordinator and look forward to meeting all of you! <33

Hi everyone! My name is Chhaya and I’m one of your event coordinators for this year! My favorite thing about Made with Love is community service that comes with our projects. I have been making arts and crafts since I was young but here, not only do I get to practice the crafts I love, but also give back to my community. Knowing that my craft can bring someone joy gives me so much joy and is the reason why I am passionate about this club!

Hi, I’m Cherrie, and I’m your secretary for this year! MWL is just a unique and original club combining two of my favorite things to do: crafting and volunteering. I enjoy handmaking donations and learning more about sewing and other crafts! MWL has also supported me through my 2nd year with friendship and stress relief. Through MWL, I’ve been exposed to many kind, lovely people, both board and general members, and given the opportunity to interact with them, who share the same passion as I do. And ofc, the cute MOLLY caught my attention too at the AIF: I had to join.

Hello! I'm Daisy and I am the new Treasurer. I remember walking down the busy Anteater involvement event and being overwhelmed on what clubs to join?  I was scared to go up to some club and see what their club's purpose was. However, when I saw the pink canopy and the Molly mascot, it felt so inviting to see what the club's purpose was. The club has amazing members conducting the booth that it felt very natural to strike a conversation. Their club's purpose was interesting to me because it also fits my interests and hobbies. I enjoy stitchwork and crafting, and this club was an outlet for crafting. But other from crafting, the purpose of the club was helping local communities. And I will continue attending the events because the people at the club make the Made With Love community special and sweet. I am looking forward to meeting you all!!!
