Student Safety and Experience

My principal motivator for sitting on the Board of Trustees is role they
play in protecting student safety. I will ensure every level of Queens

student life safer and more enjoyable while living at
Queens

wellness agencies across campus
o Push for changes to HCDS to increase accessibility and
scope of service
o Support mental health initiatives

o Support the AMS ReUnion Street Festival advocate for safe
celebratory alternatives during homecoming

Queens currently faces a challenging financial situation that requires

close attention to ensure student interests are protected. My
experience with corporate governance and student advocacy will allow
me to understand these issues and communicate them effectively to
the student body.
Ensuring Financial Sustainability

Promote student interests throughout labour negotiations

o Support a pension plan that protects university assets

Ensure Responsible Capital Purchases
o Advocate for responsible spending
o Ensure clear benefit to students
Promote fair management of differed maintenance

o Identify and fix priority facilities issues that affect student
learning abilities

Building on my experience with corporate governance, student

leadership and social media, I aim to serve the students of Queens as
a genuine student leader that puts our collective interests first.
