As a BA Honours student in Aeronautics & Leadership within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, I bring both analytical thinking and student-first leadership to governance. Over the past two years on the UWSA Board—first as a First-Year Representative (FAHSS) and now as a Faculty Representative — I have consistently served on the Finance Committee in both terms. This experience has shaped my perspective: student dollars must be transparent, accountable, and directly beneficial to students across all faculties, not just the largest ones.

With the university’s recent budget constraints and funding cuts, I have seen firsthand how quickly traditions, services, and faculty initiatives can be impacted. I advocate for equitable resource distribution and proactive financial planning so that no student community feels overlooked.

Students should feel represented by me because I listen before I speak, understand the financial structures behind decisions, and genuinely believe tuition and fees should translate into meaningful campus experiences for everyone.

The most pressing issues facing students are affordability, equitable funding, and maintaining strong campus life despite ongoing budget constraints. Rising tuition, living costs, and reduced university funding have placed added pressure on students and faculties alike. I care deeply about ensuring that no faculty loses essential programming, traditions, or services because of financial decisions beyond students’ control.

In my role, I would prioritize transparent financial reporting and ensure student dollars are directed toward programs and services that students directly benefit from. Funding should be distributed equitably across all faculties, not just the largest ones.

To advocate for improvements, I would actively gather student feedback through conversations, forums, and surveys, then bring those concerns forward at Board and Finance Committee meetings. I would push for data-driven decisions and clear communication so students understand where their money goes and how it supports their experience.

Accountability and transparency are foundational to how I approach leadership. As someone who has served two years on the UWSA Board and Finance Committee, I understand the responsibility that comes with overseeing student funds. Students deserve clear, accessible information about how their fees are being allocated and why decisions are made.

I would communicate regularly through open forums, social media updates, and direct outreach to ensure students stay informed. Transparency should not only exist in reports, but in conversations. I would also actively seek feedback through surveys, faculty meetings, and one-on-one discussions to make sure diverse perspectives are considered.

To ensure fair and ethical decision-making, I would rely on data, financial oversight, and open dialogue before supporting any major motion. My priority would always be equity across faculties and protecting initiatives that directly benefit students. Every decision should reflect students’ best interests, not convenience or politics.

Student governance should play an active and protective role in shaping the student experience at the University of Windsor. Effective student leadership means advocating firmly, communicating transparently, and ensuring student voices influence institutional decisions—especially during challenging times.

With ongoing university budget cuts, the implications of Bill 33, and recent OSAP funding reductions, students are facing increased financial pressure and uncertainty. These external decisions directly impact access to services, faculty funding, and overall campus life. Student governance must respond by protecting student interests, pushing for equitable resource allocation, and holding decision-makers accountable.

I am motivated to run because I have seen how financial decisions shape student experience. Through my work on the Board and Finance Committee, I understand both the structure and the responsibility of advocacy. I hope to contribute thoughtful leadership, financial transparency, and strong representation so every student feels supported and heard.
