"The Student Senate exists to directly improve a student's experience while at Embry-Riddle. The position of COE senator specifically exists to improve an engineering student's academic experience. The senator's role also involves implementing events and projects throughout the academic year to enhance students' abilities to do well inside and outside the classroom. Many times, students may have an issue or concern and not understand how or where to address them. Open office hours for senators provide the perfect opportunity for students in this position to seek help. During the senate meetings, the senators will also discuss important issues within the University, and successfully relay the voices of students who have productive ideas to share or problems to discuss. Finally, the ability of the senators to establish liaison positions and committees allows them to involve more dedicated students in the completing projects and planning events. I hope that I am elected as that will show the student body's faith in me completing these duties."

"Senate meetings are governed by Robert's Rules of Order. Robert's Rules are very familiar to me as I am a member of multiple organizations that run their meetings according to these guidelines. Part of the structure for meetings under Robert's Rules includes a section called "Open Forum." An open forum gives an opportunity for all members of the meeting to make comments and instigate dialogue on various topics. Students that have concerns they feel need to be addressed with SGA will be able to discuss them with myself if elected, and the other COE senators during open office hours. After ensuring we understand the issue, I will be able to discuss possible solutions with the senate during an open forum. If the problem may not be something that can be directly resolved by the Senate, understanding who and where to go will be the next priority for myself to better assist the student in question."

"My biggest goal is improving the quality of the COE Forum Days. Forum days are an opportunity to establish connections between companies and students without the pressure of internships, jobs, resumes, and interviews. Through these events, students will be able to talk with employers about different projects they are working on, how to stay well-rounded as a student, and answer any questions students may have. From what I have seen, the quality of these events has been lacking compared to other forum days on campus.

My vision for a successful forum day includes giveaways of merchandise such as shirts, hats, bags, and pens from companies, providing lunch to promote increased attendance, and interactive activities to incite student participation. On top of the goal outlined above, I also would like to increase the day-to-day interaction between the student body and events hosted by the Senate. In order to do this, my goal is to increase tabling in both the union and COE for both fun and professional purposes, increase the use of the Instagram to ensure communication of smaller events and push ample opportunities for students to discuss their ideas and get involved with SGA.

At the end of the day, my main priority will be to improve the student's experience, and I won't be able to do that without reaching out to the proper channels and utilizing communication and collaboration with the SGA and anyone who would like to be involved."
