As a member of the Reform team, I am deeply invested in the development of our campus and the well-being of every student. I strongly believe that all students should have equal access to opportunities and support at university, regardless of their background or identity. Having been a student here for just a year and a half, I experienced confusion and needed assistance, but at that time, I was unfamiliar with the environment and unsure of whom to approach for help. This experience has made me aware of the diverse needs and challenges students face, and I am committed to advocating for a more equitable academic environment, enhanced campus safety, and advancements in diversity and inclusion. For instance, I aim to make scholarships more accessible to international students, ensuring they receive the same level of support as local students. Additionally, I hope to implement more food distribution programs to alleviate the financial burden on students in need. I discovered Usasa by chance and learned that it is a platform where every student's voice can be heard. If elected, I will work tirelessly with my team to ensure that every student has the support and opportunities to grow that they deserve.
