I’m a 3rd year Nursing Student, and after many conversations with folks like you, I’ve decided to fill this seat that’s been empty for over two years. That absence reflects how disconnected many of us feel from student life. As the Eyeopener reported, trust in student institutions has weakened and many students don’t know the Student Union exists, what it does, or that elections are happening.

I’ve been in that position, and I want to help change it.

TMSU has real potential — to build campus life, advocate fiercely (especially amid Bill 33 & OSAP changes, the cliques and cynicism of TMSU corruption, and the new Student Groups Policy), and deliver student-centered services. But this only works if students are actually engaged, heard, valued, and kept in the loop.

My #1 priority is simple: support a TMSU students trust because it works for them. A $20M lawsuit and fire alarms getting pulled to stop student voting shows how fragile and concentrated our representation is and shouldn’t be. This value guides the rest of my campaign (see linktr.ee).

I support community and care-based engagement wherever I can — tutoring peers, mentoring youth, orientation week, and serving on many committees in school and out.

This role is my next step in serving you impactfully, whether you’re new, deeply involved, or are close to graduating by:

• Bringing TMSU to students, not expecting students to chase it
• Clear, relevant, and consistent updates and interaction beyond social media.
• Supporting accountability measures through clear student-driven priorities and reports Making complex rules understandable and accessible.

If this resonates, I’d be grateful for your support — and even more grateful to hear your ideas. The more we connect, the stronger the union we build together — one that reflects the best of us.

Connect however you prefer — I always make myself available.
