Why do you want to do this role?

The reason I want be in this role that I really care about helping our student community. I've seen that some students face challenges and don't always have the same opportunities. I want to change that. My goal is to bring everyone together, improve academics, and make sure everyone feels supported. I'm ready to make sure all students' voices are heard. This role means a lot to me because I want to make a real difference for everyone on campus.

Why should students vote for you?

Students should vote for me because I have the passion, vision, and dedication needed to effect real change. My approach is student-centric, prioritizing your needs and concerns above all else. Having actively engaged with various student groups and communities, I understand the diverse challenges you face and have concrete, actionable plans to address them.

My commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive, and vibrant campus life is unwavering. I believe in action, not just words, and my track record of advocacy and leadership within and beyond the campus stands testament to my ability to bring about positive transformations.

I am a proponent of open, transparent communication and believe in the power of collaboration. By voting for me, you are not just electing a student officer; you are empowering a dedicated advocate who will tirelessly work to ensure your voice is heard, your needs are met, and your university experience is enriched in every possible way.

In essence, my candidacy is not about personal ambition but about collective empowerment, progress, and creating a university environment where everyone can thrive. Your vote for me is a vote for a brighter, more inclusive, and dynamic future for all of us.

What are your main priorities?

My main goals focus on three important things: including everyone, doing well in school, and taking care of our whole selves. Inclusivity means making sure every student feels valued, no matter who they are. I want to make sure everyone has what they need, especially students with disabilities and those from different backgrounds. By celebrating our differences, we can make our campus a welcoming place for everyone.

Academic excellence is also really important to me. I want to make sure our classes and tests are top-notch and help students reach their goals. I'll work to provide great academic advice so students can do their best in their studies.

Taking care of students' well-being is just as crucial. University life can be tough, so we need good support for mental, physical, and emotional health. I'll push for more spaces like the new relaxation area in Stratford, where students can take a break and feel refreshed.

Overall, I'm dedicated to making our campus a place where everyone feels included, succeeds academically, and thrives in their well-being.
