I would like another opportunity to serve on staff congress in order to continue advocating for my fellow staff peers. Over the last three years, I have had the honor of serving on staff congress — during this time, I have been able to procure and listen to the ideas and concerns of colleagues and have brought those comments to a University body who is well-abled and equipped to address the needs that are identified. I love serving my University community through opportunities such as this.
