I have a passion for serving the greater community as illustrated by
my time at UW-Stout. I was highly involved with the university
student senate which led to interacting with executive university
leadership, local officials, rental housing agencies, and students with
pressing issues on a regular basis. I joined the financial affairs
committee right away and became director, where we had to pear
down around 2 million dollars in student organization requests to 1
million and make sure every dollar was being spent to benefit the
highest number of students. I was also involved with the technology
fee committee, multiple search committees for executive university
leadership and was on the committee that oversaw the planning of a
19 million dollar student center renovation as a student rep.
