• Question 1:How would you make sure your constituents know who you are and how they can contact you?
  I believe that a Senator for Fisher College of Business should attend at least one meeting for each of the student organizations at Fisher each quarter. This is the only sure way to hear the voice of Fisher and represent them in Undergraduate Student Government. By letting people know who you are, they are much more likely to come to you with their concerns. As a member of the Undergraduate Business Council I would be able to work with the other organizations to put on events and help with USG funding.
• Question 2:How do you respond to accusations that joining USG senate is all about resume padding?
  I would tell the truth about these accusations, and that is that there are some students that are in USG for the wrong reasons. There are some students who strive for the status quo of USG and use it for a resume builder. These students only hurt the image USG has and gives it a stereotype that is only true for those students. I would also tell them about the truly genuine people that are trying to fix this stereotype and love The Ohio State University more than anything else. It is these people that make USG great and much more than any resume pad.
• Question 3:How would you like to see USG improve?
  I would like to see USG as an organization that is well respected and represented on campus. There are numerous events put on by USG that people do not realize. Getting the word out about USG and all of what it can do for the students would be a great improvement. Changing the stereotype people might have about USG is what I believe to be the most important thing that needs to change. By electing the best candidates and people that are genuine with good intentions is the best and easiest way to improve USG.
• Question 4: Pick a ballot initiative, state your position and explain why you hold that position.
  None
• Question 5:What is your least favorite day of the year; and why?
  The last day of Spring Quarter is my least favorite day of the year. Saying goodbye to all my friends and The Ohio State University with all my memories is not a fun day
