What relevant experience would you bring to the position you are seeking?

UMBC SGA Senator for the 2017-2018 School Year

How do you intend on fulfilling your role while working alongside other members of SGA? What strategies do you use to address conflict?

I intend to support the other members of the Senate by helping to use the experiences of the communities I am part of to provide a well representation of part of the student body. With working with other members of the SGA, I think having honest communication between members will allow for our work to be the most effective. When addressing conflict, I will definitely seek to understand conflicting arguments and advocate for others to understand all perspectives but not force others to change their opinions.

What is your vision for UMBC and the UMBC student body?

I envision UMBC to be an ever-developing institution where students, faculty, and administration as a collective actively shape UMBC's current environment and future legacy. I hope to see students regularly utilizing the resources provided by UMBC with the intent of furthering the lives of themselves and the communities that they serve in.

How do you plan to facilitate communications with your constituents?

I think a great way to facilitate communication with students like myself is to utilize methods that allow for casual and comfortable conversation. In order to do this, it is important that senators reach out to the student body and initiate conversations to ensure the student perspective is affirmed.
