What is your favorite part of UW?
I would say how large the campus is and the opportunity to meet lots of different people! It’s helped me grow a lot during my time here.
How did you get involved with ASUW?
I started out as Board Coordinator my sophomore year since I was looking for an on campus job. However, I grew a passion to be involved in ASUW more after seeing what Board and the various UW entities do since I attended a lot of their meetings! Now I’m here. 🙂
What does your job entail?
My position is external facing and I serve as the bridge between students and faculty. I sit on and appoint students to multiple faculty councils and provide student insight, as well as vote on critical university-wide legislation. I’m also the board liaison for the office of governmental relations, to make sure the legislative agenda successfully passes in the legislative steering committee as well as by the board for a successful legislative session in Olympia. So basically, tons of policy work!
What are your goals for the future, beyond UW?
I would love to work at the United Nations or a law firm as an assistant before applying to law school. The goal is to hopefully be able to practice either international or immigration law.
