I want to be a leader that makes things happen and works to find ways to improve our campus. The Drake experience has given me so many opportunities to grow as a student, person and leader and I want to make sure that all students have the same and equal opportunities to grow. I know that this position would allow me to advocate for needs and concerns in ways that they should be, and I know that I would be able to help others even if it is just in the smallest of ways. I care about the student body, and I care about the institution that has granted me with so much and I want to make it better. I hope to be able to immerse myself in areas of campus that I haven’t already, as well as create more of an interpersonal relationship with the student body; something that is vital to efficiency of this position.”[/box]
