I've been building a strong skill set and knowledge base since my 1A term, first filling assorted MathSoc roles before being elected to WUSA Students' Council. Since then, I've been serving on the UW Senate & Board of Governors, and I'm now finishing up my 16 months as a full-time WUSA Vice-President.
My advocacy work is backed by effective communication, critical analysis, & research, and I have experience with stakeholders across the University and government. I excel at tackling complex problems, and I hope to support the new Board in effecting our collective advocacy priorities next year!
