Personal Facts/Passions:
I like to read and watch movies in my free time. For books I usually go for fantasy/dystopian-ish genres and for movies, I’m usually good if you give me enough balanced action to drama ratios.
Why did you join ASUCI?:
I joined ASUCI with the hopes of being able to contribute and represent the students here at the school. I hope to represent a different voice within the school government as there are so few actual members of the senate. Within such a small group it’s important to encourage diversity so that the voices who aren’t heard can finally have their moment and I’m committed to being that voice.
Goals for 2024-2025:
My goals for the academic year are to create a system within ASUCI that is more connected to the students that it serves. I plan on doing this by coming up with legislation that follows codes like the Civic Act and actively seeking more ways for students to get involved within their student body government. I’m excited to contribute ideas and initiatives to the school government and take part in committees that aim to better UC Irvine and the well-being of the students on campus.
