I am a proud Racer. I came to Murray State as an undergraduate student in 2006 and loved it so much I never left. I care deeply about the future of this institution and the people who work here. I want to be your representative on the issues that matter to you – to listen to what you have to say and to ensure your concerns are voiced in meetings. I also want to make sure you are aware of issues that affect you so that you can play a part in the decision-making process. If chosen as your Staff Congress representative, I will devote the time and energy it takes to do the job right.
