Why do you want to be the Student Trustee?
I'm running for Student Trustee because you're the celebrity- and your voice deserves the spotlight. After three years in Student Government, I know how to turn student concerns into real actions behind the scenes, like an agent working for you. I'll make sure your ideas, struggles, and successes are heard where decisions are made. I will be accessible, responsive, and focused on results, not titles. This role isn't about me- it's about you.To stay accessible, I will hold regular office hours so any student can be heard. I will also respond to emails in less than 24 hours.

What else would you like students to know about you?
Students should know that I don't take representation lightly. I've spent three years building relationships everywhere across campus, learning how decisions are made, and advocating when it wasn't easy. I'm not afraid to ask hard questions, but I also know how to work collaboratively to get results. I believe leadership means showing up consistently, listening first, and following through. I care deeply about this campus and the students who make it what it is. If elected, I won't disappear after the campaign. I'll be visible, accountable, and committed to earning your trust- starting on day 1.

What else would you like students to know about you?
I want people to be able to expect that no matter the work I do I will make sure that it is the best I can do.

Practical Nursing
Highland, IL

Why do you want to be on the Student Government Association (SGA)?
I want to be a sophomore SGA delegate because I have truly enjoyed my time as a freshman delegate. This past year I learned how much SGA supports the student body and creates a positive college experience for everyone. If elected to be a sophomore delegate, I will continue to show up, put in the wok, and represent Lake Land College well.

What else would you like students to know about you?
Outside of SGA, I am actively involved in the nursing program here at Lake Land College. I am involved and balance leadership with academics and working on my family dairy farm. I value teamwork and understand the importance of advocating for others.
