As a criminology and family studies student, the perspective I bring is through the lenses of justice and responsibility while understanding how unfair systems affect people's lives. I have worked consistently while maintaining my academic responsibilities. The skills that I have learned through juggling work, school, and my personal life have shown me how important flexibility, clear communication, and fair academic policies are. I totally understand the academic pressures that students face when multiple responsibilities need to be fulfilled all at once.

My leadership and mentorship experience has taught me how to listen carefully, represent concerns responsibly, and speak up when something needs to be addressed. As much as this title sounds amazing to represent, I want students to feel heard in spaces that hold power.

I believe that mental health is a significant challenge that students face at this moment. University can be overwhelming, especially when students are balancing work, financial stress, academics, and personal responsibilities. We need to make the system easier for students to access support and therapy services without long wait times or navigational confusion. Academic institutions should treat mental health as a primary concern, instead of an afterthought. Affordability and academic pressure also connect directly to mental health. The University of Windsor should evaluate all policy decisions and consider how these policies affect students' lived experiences and emotions.

As a student senator, my responsibility includes bringing student issues into official meetings while disclosing any conflicts or patterns I am aware of. I believe advocacy means consistently showing up, being prepared, and speaking out against any harms that might affect students.

My goal is to create a university environment where students can manage their academic workload through clear communication, better academic support and accessible mental health resources.

I would communicate with students by approaching them directly, asking questions, and being open to conversations. Instead of assuming what students need, the solution is to grasp their wants and needs directly from them. Representations should not only happen in meetings but also in everyday interactions. Sometimes the most honest feedback comes from informal conversations; this should be the reason for random conversations about concerns, conflicts, and issues that students face.

I want to help create small educational events, which will provide students with information without the feeling of intimidation. Many students do not know what the UWSA Senate does or how their decisions might impact students' lives. Informative spaces need to be created as welcoming areas, which will help students feel secure when discussing their opinions and enjoying themselves with friends and classmates.

When it comes to decision-making, I would ensure that I am prepared, informed, and considering different perspectives before voting. Fair decisions will occur when we consider how these policies affect all students, not just one group or for our personal gain.

Effective student leadership requires a person who practices active listening to resolve problems step by step. It also means developing ideas while they clearly explain the problem and present it, which will encourage other people to join in and help solve it. I really believe that teamwork creates better results than working alone; real change happens once people work together and stay consistent.

I want to be a part of this work because I finally have the confidence to be a voice for students who feel unheard. A lot of students do not feel comfortable speaking up, or they feel like no one is listening anyway. I want to change that by being someone who shows up no matter what, takes concerns seriously, and brings them forward. I would also like to help increase the number of Black women who work in the UWSA student government; representation matters.
