Briefly explain your platform.
I want to motivate students to vote for issues instead of slate affiliations.
What qualities and experience qualify you to be an ASUO senator?
Walton Complex leadership representative in the Residence Hall Association. I’m running because I have good ideas on how leadership is run and how it is developed within a group.
What are your thoughts on the purpose and size of the student incidental fee?
The incidental fee is very important. I think the incidental fee should not go up because of where the economy is right now. There will have to be some increase because of union contracts, but we have to spend wisely.
How will you ensure that you are representing your constituents’ interests?
The main issue is how you support student groups. You shouldn’t view student groups (as) your employee. You should work as a support group, a friendship.
What are some major issues facing students undecided about their majors and how would you address them?
I think we should have more programs and more opportunities for them to discover what they want to do.
