Why did you decide to become a GSG senator?: I saw an opportunity to advocate for tangible improvement in graduate student life here at 91±¬ÁÏ; from funding and resources to mental health support. I believe in turning feedback into action, and this role allows me to do that effectively.

How would you best serve your constituents?: As a senator, I can be a direct line between my peers and the administration, ensuring our needs and concerns are heard and acted upon.

Please tell us about your research or some fun facts about you: I am passionate about sustainable financial practices and financial literacy education for underprivileged women

How do you plan on communicating with your constituents?:  I plan to be highly accessible. This means sending email communications and being present at departmental lounges to have face-to-face conversations and hear what matters to them in real time
