Hello!! My name is Auva, and though I am a new addition to the SMILE board, I have been a part of the club for three years now. I am here to learn from Cate about how to run the club, how to maintain the connections, and how to run the recitals, ensuring SMILE can continue its purpose when Cate graduates. I am incredibly honored to be added to this mission, and I truly hope to do Cate justice!! Outside of SMILE however, I have been playing piano since elementary school, though travel, sports, and school have occasionally interfered with my lessons. Though it used to feel like a chore, I genuinely appreciate music as a form of emotional expression,  temporary release, and community building. SMILE has given me the chance to connect with others with the same passions and wholesome cause and I could not be more grateful. 

Hi! I'm Kendall Pham, a senior of class 2026 and have been vice president of the SMILE club for three years now. I'm here to help and make sure that everything runs smoothly, so everyone can focus on supporting their cause. I'm not a professional pianist, but I use piano as an escape from the real world, and just music in general. As someone who has always loved making others smile, I can't wait to spend our efforts to see it happen. I have always been surrounded by people who support me through tough times by cheering me up and I've always wanted to give back to my community the same way they have helped me. Music is the foolproof way to express emotions untouched by words and I'd love to hear them all this year!

Hi! I'm Emmy, a part of the class of 2026 and this is my 3rd year as the treasurer for the SMILE club.
