My Top Three Priorities
Accountability & Transparency
Are you aware of the decisions WUSA’s Board makes on your behalf? Most students I’ve spoken with aren’t. I’ll fix that by sharing monthly newsletters and using social media to keep you informed and gather your feedback before important votes so you can ensure that what I have been running on I am actually doing.
Real Advocacy
WUSA hasn’t effectively lobbied for students in the past. Drawing on my experience working alongside government leaders—from the Prime Minister’s office to local mayors—I’ll ensure that WUSA engages in effective student advocacy issues like housing, transit, co-op/WaterlooWorks, and debt relief.
Inclusive Campus
Everyone should feel safe and supported on campus. I’ll make sure spaces like the multi-faith room meet all student needs, and I’ll champion policies and events that welcome everyone—without unintentionally excluding any group in our community.
Reason why someone should vote for you in 100 words or less
I’m an experienced community leader who can deliver on the issues that matter most: transparent decision-making, real advocacy for housing and transit, and genuine campus inclusivity. My track record working with government leaders—from local mayors to federal and provincial leadersI know how to get results. If elected, I’ll champion monthly updates, stronger lobbying efforts, and opportunities for direct student input. WUSA should work for you—and with your support, I’ll make sure it does.
