Involvement
Outside of academics, I am involved in The Pre-Med Club, The Real Estate Club, Student Senate, and I am a student research assistant at Grand Valley State University. I also hold a part-time position at Corewell Health and use my free time to volunteer at the Kids Food Basket and Corewell Health.

Platform

-To be a listening ear to promote an inclusive and supportive campus where all students, organizations, and clubs have an equal opportunity to share their ideas and concerns. - To continue to support creating a community that prioritized accessibility, student well-being, and equality so that ALL students feel safe, empowered, and encouraged to thrive. - A change I would like to make on campus is having one or more learning facilities open until midnight on the city campus to ensure that our Pew campus students have access to the same facilities as our Allendale students do with the Kirkoff Center and Mary Idema Pew Library.

Candidate Bio

As a current senator, I joined Student Senate to make a meaningful impact at Grand Valley State University. I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive and supportive campus where all students, clubs, and organizations have equal opportunities to share their ideas and concerns. My goal is to continue to help create a community that prioritizes accessibility, student well-being, and equity, where every individual feels safe, empowered, and encouraged to thrive. By advocating for positive change, transparency, and equal resources, I hope to help make GVSU a place where every student can reach their full potential.
