I have served as a Senator for the past school year. I also have past experience with volunteering, as well as an understanding and experience in politically-styled structures through my internship.

This upcoming school year, I would like to focus on legislation to improve mental health on campus. There seems to be a common trend of isolation and/or avoiding campus. I want to work with the Counseling Center and other resources to find ways to bring more students to campus. Additionally, I want to see if there are ways to improve the mental health resources we provide, including more counseling or psychiatric needs that Grand Valley students may need. It is my intention to create a task force and address this issue for the entirety of the school year.
