Why are you running in the ASUO Elections?

I am running because I know that the most effective way to improve things is to get involved. You can't be sure that anything is getting done until you're the one doing it. I want to help all students and I know I can. One of my passions is serving as a GE where I've had the experience as a leader to encourage students and collaborate with faculty. Students should not only be heard, but especially respected and encouraged. We should be able to make our education (and money) work for us rather than being passive bystanders to decisions made without our best interest in mind. We should continue expanding resources, ensure that they are actually being utilized by the student body, and that all campus workers have the dignity of their work.

As one of the most front facing parts of ASUO, how do you plan on making these interactions as positive as possible for students?

I plan on making interactions as positive as possible by showing up with passion, encouragement, ideas, and excitement to be there. I will approach any concerns first with the intention of listening and problem-solving after I have been informed.

How are you connected to the academic programs you represent? How will you utilize these connections to best represent students?

I am connected to the academic programs by being a student, GE, and educator. These connections will allow me to see each side of the academic programs and connect with other students and faculty in intentional, practical, and professional ways.
