Candidate Bio

As a Resident Assistant and student employee at GVSU for the past two years, I've witnessed the challenges students face: balancing academics, employment, and campus life. Supporting students in their transition to college has strengthened my passion for advocating policies that foster academic success and personal well-being. I believe every student's voice matters. If elected to the Student Senate, I will work to ensure that decisions reflect the real needs of our student body. My focus will be on improving housing policies, expanding academic resources, and enhancing student employment opportunities to create a more supportive and inclusive campus. I'm committed to making a difference at GVSU, and I would be honored to represent you. Let's work together to build a stronger campus community!
