Thank You to the Graduating Seniors from the Westminster College SPARK Leadership Team 2025 – 2026

The Smile Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading Happiness through intentional acts of kindness, youth service clubs, and daily gratitude practices. Our flagship program finds its home in the SPARK Clubs. SPARK stands for “Strengthening Positivity and Reinforcing Kindness” and these groups are formed by inspiring young people who want to make their schools and communities kinder and friendlier places to be.

Today, I want to thank the graduating leadership team from the 2025 – 2026 school year at one of the oldest SPARK clubs, Westminster College (WC). This was the tenth year for WC SPARK and I remain inspired by all that they are! Be sure to follow them on Instagram at @westminster_sparkclub for instant inspiration. And congratulations again to these graduating seniors.

President: Maura (Mo) Mahoney

Maura is a senior Psychology major at Westminster College and plans to work in mental healthcare after graduation. In the fall, she plans to apply to graduate programs for Sports and Exercise Psychology where she will get her master's and pursue a PhD after that. She cares deeply about mental health and spreading positivity in her life, which are reasons why she was so involved with SPARK. Being able to provide someone a good day or even just a good thought through her actions has kept her with the organization since her freshman year. She will always appreciate the friendships and connections she has made while being in SPARK for the last 4 years. 

Secretary: Chloe Lindquist    

Chloe is a Professional Communication and Leadership major and plans to continue her education pursuing a Master of Nonprofit Leadership next fall. She is aspiring to work and help those in need, specifically in the nonprofit sector based in the Seattle, Washington area. She’s from Ogden, Utah. Chloe chose to run for an executive board position because she loves the connections it builds with her fellow (WC) Titans, as well as motivates her to spread kindness across the community. SPARK has given her the opportunity to push herself to be involved on campus through small and large gestures that create a more welcoming place for all!

Treasurer: Mackenzie Wagner 

Mackenzie is a Neuroscience major with a Writing minor and plans to work as a laboratory technician after graduation, where she will support research through careful data collection, experimental preparation, and day‑to‑day lab operations. Her interest in behavioral stressors and neurodegenerative diseases has strengthened her commitment to precision, responsibility, and ethical care, qualities she brings directly into her role as Treasurer. Originally from Florida, Mackenzie chose to run for an executive board position because she values the sense of connection and shared purpose that SPARK creates among fellow Titans. Managing the chapter’s finances allows her to support meaningful programming and ensure resources are used intentionally to uplift the community.

Social Media and Project Manager: Emma Maloberti 

Emma is a senior criminal justice studies and psychology double major with a minor in legal studies. After graduation, she plans on being a research assistant at the University of Pittsburgh for a year or two and then applying to graduate programs to get a PhD in clinical psychology. Emma would love to specialize in neuropsychology working with pediatric/adolescent patients. She is from Cranberry Township, PA and has been a part of SPARK club since she was a freshman and joined the executive board because she wanted to continue the fun projects that SPARK club has to offer through a leadership role.
