I ran for AMS President because I believe students should be at the centre of every decision made about student life. Over the years, I’ve watched students pour their time, energy, and passion into this campus—through Orientation, clubs, student-run services, and the everyday moments that keep Queen’s moving. I wanted to step into a role where I could help make that work easier, more visible, and better supported.

With a portfolio that spans Orientation, Human Resources, Information Technology, Marketing, Communications, and the Student Life Centre, I saw an opportunity to bring everything together under one cohesive vision: an AMS that is coordinated, student-first, and built to last. Running wasn’t just about leading, it was about creating infrastructure that empowers students long after we’re gone.

This year, I’m ready to open the doors of the revitalized JDUC, a space that’s been years in the making and finally reflects the energy, diversity, and leadership of the student body. From Queen’s Pub and Restaurant to the Student Life Centre, we now have the chance to make these spaces truly student-driven again.

I’m also excited to strengthen AMS governance by creating clearer structures, more transparent processes, and a stronger sense of accountability. Improving how we communicate and making sure students actually see and feel the impact of their student government—is a top priority. Whether that’s through more inclusive marketing, a renewed digital presence, or direct outreach, I want the AMS to be visible, approachable, and trusted.

And of course, I’m thrilled to support the Orientation Roundtable. Having worked in residence since second year, helping new students feel seen, celebrated, and equipped to succeed has always been one of the most meaningful parts of my work.

I hope to leave the AMS more connected, more compassionate, and more consistent than how I found it. Whether that means streamlining internal systems, empowering student leaders through hiring and onboarding, or improving how we communicate and engage, it’s about building structures that support student life more sustainably and equitably.

On a personal level, I want to grow as a leader who balances strategy with empathy, delegates with trust, and advocates not just for change but for belonging.

Start with your why. Start with listening. Students don’t need perfection, they need someone honest, grounded, and willing to show up when it’s hard. Build a campaign that reflects you—your values, your experiences, and your purpose.

This role isn’t just about the vision you bring; it’s about how well you listen, collaborate, and build trust. You won’t know everything, and that’s okay. What matters is that you care deeply, stay open to learning, and are ready to serve.
