As Secretary, I will be responsible for a large majority of the organization for our team. I will record meetings, help plan and keep ASC members informed and a bunch of other stuff I’ll find out next year.
What are you most looking forward to for the upcoming year?

I am really looking forward to working with this team. Everyone serving on EC next is great and we already get along/work together so well, so I know our bond will only get stronger. I’m also looking forward to learning the more ‘hidden’ facts about campus and for being a proponent of change for our student body.

If you were a flavor of caf ice cream, what flavor would you be and why?

I honestly don’t get ice cream in the caf a lot; I usually go for the cookies. But I do love the mixed chocolate and vanilla soft serve, and the sprinkles make it cute!

Class: Vindicated

Major: Secondary Education Social Studies

What are your responsibilities in your role on EC?

I will be the VP of SGA, so this puts me in charge of these committees: Academic and Institutional Issues Committee, Food Services, Issues Awareness, Campus Spaces and Parking and Safety, as well as being able to come alongside all the class cabinets for next year, and helping any clubs that may need some guidance.

What are you most looking forward to for the upcoming year?

I’m really just excited to see what new ideas people bring to the table for next year and to see what innovations we can implement and things we can make better around campus. The part I think I’ll enjoy the most is being able to hear, see and facilitate people’s passions, getting to come along beside them and help make that club or help hold that event or just hearing that idea we can make into reality is going to be awesome.

Cotton candy ice cream for sure. You are what you eat?
