“I’ve been involved with student government since my freshman year, and I had the opportunity last year to serve as the press secretary to the student body vice president. I co-hosted the student government podcast, Inside 1801, with the former Student Body Vice President Maia Porzio. We recorded six episodes where we connected with students and alumni about topics such as student leaders prioritizing their mental health, student involvement with advocacy on campus and the LGBTQ+ Alumni Association.
“My current role is deputy elections commissioner. In this role, I work along with a team of other elections commissioners to help to ensure that the elections run smoothly. This includes planning the executive candidate debate, inauguration and informing candidates of rules around election season.”
