What experience and qualifications do you have?
CEO of the UMBC Entrepreneurial Society President of the UMBC Visual Arts Council of Majors Public Relations Chair of M.A.L.E.S. In addition to the leadership positions I hold at UMBC, I have co-founded the Alumni Association at Oakland Mills High School, and am in the start-up phase of my business: Simple Graphic Solutions, LLC. My background as a Graphic Design/Political Science Double Major allows me to maintain a cross-disciplinary mindset that accommodates all ideas.
What is your platform? What do you hope to accomplish if you win?
If I were to win this election, but the voter turn-out did not drastically increase, I will feel as if not all of my goals were accomplished. I want to increase the amount of 'effective voice' from the student population at UMBC. Effective voice is not only the expression of ideas from different homogeneous groups, but also the acting upon those ideas. Every organization on campus should be able to communicate clearly with SGA, for it is the mechanism that was created to enact positive change.
What I really want students to know about me is….
Because of my background, I can easily see the entire picture, and thus can apply it to the situation at hand. I understand that I may have disagreements with those who work with me. That being the case, disagreements are the source of growth. I am passionate about improving the environment that we interact in. UMBC is not just a place where we attend, but it is a community where we all can contribute.
Platform Summary:
- Create a more unified and community centered campus where everyone can be involved, and every voice is important.
- Encourage the involvement and growth of every organization on campus to improve and better the reputation of UMBC.
- Organize joint efforts between organizations to promote events of a high caliber and magnitude.
