Campaign Platform: I want to help students gain valuable educational experiences outside classrooms through hands-on experience and project/club connections. Along with assisting students to be in control of their own education.

Qualifcations:

•I am currently serving as the Engineering Council President which allows me to work closely with the current Senator and understand all the responsibilities and what being a Senator entails.

• My current position has allowed me to work closely with the Dean of the college as well the department heads on various issues such as curriculum and student activities.

• I have not been limited to knowing peers just within my major, but I have been able to work with people across all engineering platforms within the college.

• I have been working with student clubs this year in recovering from the pandemic and furthering success by assisting in the creation of the new clubs websites and club trainings.

• I am currently working in a job that requires large scale planning, scheduling, and communication which are skills that will help me to be successful in this position.

Goals/Plans:

• I want to help students in connecting with clubs and project opportunities. I want to assist students in further becoming involved within the college outside of the classroom.

• I would like to further assist clubs in being successful through competition opportunities, student recruitment, club trainings, website development, funding options, and college support.

• I would like to provide more substantial food for students within the Engineering Building and give more food options for long study days other than vending machines.

• Help students access resources needed to be successful and engage with what is offered such as the college’s Let’s Talk, the math resource center, the writing center, and tutoring center.

• I want to create more open communication within the college for students needs and grievances to be addressed.

• I want students to feel heard in what they say and need.
