Looking back on my time at Oberlin, I am amazed by the incredible people who made these past four years so special. I want to express my gratitude to the dedicated students, community members, and educators who played such a positive role in shaping my experience. I hope to continue their work as a Class Trustee!
On campus, I’ve had the privilege to collaborate with 220+ diverse student groups, staff offices, faculty departments, and community organizations. I aim to use my background to nurture a more transparent and equitable relationship between the Board of Trustees and Oberlin’s stakeholders by advocating for increased financial support for the MRC, identity-based housing, student organizations, and community partnership programs. I am committed to the collaborative process, and I am eager to learn from and support community voices.
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
