What is your favorite part of UW?
I love all of our beautiful buildings—new and old! They’re perfect for study days when you just want to sit inside and watch the rain with a warm coffee.
How did you get involved with ASUW?
I started off as a freshman hall senator and have moved up since then. Last year I served as the On-Campus Affairs Chair in the Senate, and as one of ASUW’s Elections Co-Chairs which prepared me well to serve on the Board this year.
What does your job entail?
I am the parliamentarian for Senate, which means I train senators and advise the Senate Speaker on Senate rules and procedures. I help senators write legislation and act as the Senate liaison to the ASUW Board of Directors.
What are your goals for the future, beyond UW?
After graduation, I am planning to work in the field for a year or two to get some practical lab experience. Then I plan to attend a grad program in Microbiology or Immunology to begin projects of my own.
