Tap to see all events
Student clubs drive campus culture. I've worked to simplify funding processes, clarify policies, and reduce barriers so clubs can focus on what matters: building community and creating opportunities for their members.
Whether it's navigating approvals, securing resources, or amplifying their voices, supporting clubs means supporting student leadership at every level.
Safety & Security
Campus safety isn't just about infrastructure. It's about trust, communication, and making sure every student feels heard when something doesn't feel right.
I've worked to ensure student concerns about safety reach the people who can act on them — whether that's campus security, administration, or broader institutional conversations.
That also means advocating for clear, accessible reporting processes and supporting initiatives that make campus a place where students feel welcome, respected, and secure.
Advocacy, to me, means listening carefully, acting responsibly, and creating spaces where every student feels they belong.
