Briefly explain your platform.
I really think it’s important that students are heard. There are only a select few on ASUO, and I don’t know if they are representative of the student body.
What qualities and experience qualify you to be an ASUO senator?
Student body councils, business minor for dealing with budgets. I’m charismatic and dedicated to the students at this university.
What are your thoughts on the size and purpose of the student incidental fee?
The purpose of it is to give bank to students to better the community and the students.
How will you ensure that you are representing your constituents’ interests?
I have been a political science major since I came in to the university three years ago and think I have a pretty idea what my constituents are looking for in their representative: someone who is passionate, someone who knows about the issues and someone who’s going to make our voice heard.
What are some major issues facing social science students and how would you address them?
Funding for major-specific programs. Need for a 24-library.
