Tell us about yourself.

I am a third-year, first-generation college student double majoring in Planning, Public Policy and Management, and French. I am from Portland, OR, and use she/her pronouns. Academically my focus lies in sustainability and inclusive urbanism. I am deeply committed to advocacy and campus organizing. Currently, I serve as a social media coordinator for the Climate Justice League and am a member of PPPM's Student Advisory Board. 

What are the three key issues that you've noticed on campus that you hope to improve for students as an elected official? Please list each issue and briefly explain how you hope to improve it.

As an active participant in campus organizing, I've witnessed numerous organizations dedicating their time to supporting students needs, and I believe ASUO can further bolster these efforts with its resources. Firstly, as a Senate member, I'll advocate for equitable housing by pursuing funding through local ballot measures or state legislature, supporting housing co-ops, and enhancing affordability in student housing. Secondly, I'll address healthcare concerns by tackling the loss of the PeaceHealth emergency room, ensuring access to a 24-hour nurse on campus, and facilitating transportation to Riverbend Hospital. Lastly, I'll prioritize harm reduction initiatives, including the establishment of drug harm reduction programs, implementing student-operated testing, and informational hotlines to keep our students safe. 

Why are you running?

I'm running because, as a first-generation college student, I understand the barriers of navigating college. I aim to bridge the gap between ASUO and students, particularly those with underrepresented identities, through leadership grounded in transparency and inclusivity. My goal is to amplify student voices and drive impactful campus changes, while also promoting more engagement opportunities. I believe ASUO can significantly impact students' lives if its interworkings are better understood.
