Leadership: In high school, I was elected SGA 12th grade president, varsity baseball and soccer, and the male 12th grade representative for Homecoming. Here at Georgia State, I have led many outreach programs in the community while working with Safe House, Atlanta Speaks and other service-based organizations. Also, I have been a mentor to upcoming Freshman students through the Freshman Institute FLC. I am currently in the process of founding a student organization.
Platform: My goal throughout my tenure here at Georgia State has been to connect the students with the community of Atlanta. Many students bypass the opportunity to leave an imprint on not just the university, but also the city in which they study. With the help of the Student Government Association, as a Senator, I will use my position to further promote reaching out to the city we are all proud to reside in. It is not enough to solely be involved on campus, and overlook the less fortunate in Hurt and Woodruff Park. It is not enough to receive a degree from a prominent research institution without promoting higher education to children of neighboring public schools. And it most certainly is not enough to join organizations in order to boost the appeal of one’s resume, and not make real connections with the student body, faculty as well as the community. As a representative of the student body, through the Student Government Association, I will spread the presence of Georgia State University.
