am running to represent the freshman class as a University College Representative in the

Undergraduate Student Congress. Currently, I am involved in the Student Government

Association as an associate serving in the External Affairs Committee, Crimson Leadership

Association, and President’s Leadership Class.

I am running because I want to see better representation for minority groups in student

government. I am an enrolled Cherokee citizen, and my culture is who I am. We need to have

students who understand the issues Native Americans on campus face. Also, student mental

health is so important right now. As we are still in a pandemic, students need more mental

resources to ensure their safety.

campus- together.

am a dedicated leader with shown skill in community involvement and outreach. I serve on

the CAC Film Series programming board, CAC Spark publicity committee, and am an active

member of Crimson Leadership Association. I am also an avid rower participating as a

member of the co-ed OU Crew rowing club team, and am proud to be a member of the OU

American Indian Student Association. I know that regardless of what happens, I will

attempt to positively effect the student life on OU’s campus as much as I can. My platform is

“One OU”, as I hope to bridge the gaps that many students are currently feeling on campus.

To execute my platform, I will promote campus involvement, work directly with students

to improve what they see fit, and maintain regular representative - student relationships.

These issues are relevant to me as a first year, first generation student similar to many of

you, so I will work tirelessly to make sure everyone feels heard.

I am excited to take advantage of this opportunity to move our university forward and make OU better for us all.

I am involved in Wall Street Sooners and an avid supporter of students’ rights and expanding campus resources for students.
