What’s something you’ve accomplished on the Staff Senate during your time as a Senator?
As a newly elected Senator, I had planned to primarily observe and learn. However, I was nominated for an Executive Board position as the inaugural Operations Officer (a role for new senators). Before this, I had served on the University Life committee and then transitioned to the Council for University System Staff (CUSS) committee. I also contributed to the Staff Senate Retreat committee. I am excited about taking on the leadership role on the Elections committee.
What’s a fun vacation that you’ve taken or would like to take?
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I embarked on an enriching journey through several cities in Colombia, South America. I am looking forward to exploring more of South America!
What’s your most prized possession and why?
My most prized possession is my spirit of determination. Despite triumphs and trials, success and setbacks, I am proud to have never given up nor settled.
What’s the theme song to your life?
I have two: Mariah Carey’s “Make It Happen” and Jay Z’s “Moment of Clarity.”
