• Question 1:How would you make sure your constituents know who you are and how they can contact you?
  I would love to get to know any of my constituents so I would keep fliers up within the EHE school with my contact information on it so anyone could get a hold of me if needed. I would also send out a mass e-mail to my EHE colleagues letting them know that I am here to help them and they can come to me with any questions or concerns.
• Question 2:How do you respond to accusations that joining USG senate is all about resume padding?
  I would simply respond by saying that USG is not all about resume padding. It is an excellent organization that takes dedication and high attendance. I would state that there are weekly meetings as well as weekly committee meetings. I put a lot of time into USG because I find it challenging and fun. When it comes to USG, I am involved because I want to improve OSU and represent OSU's students, not to make my resume better. I want to help encourage others to say they are proud to be a Buckeye, just like me.
• Question 3:How would you like to see USG improve?
  I think USG has done a marvelous job of improving OSU and representing the student body. My only concern is that the communication between USG and OSU's students are not as clear as I believe they should be. I think USG needs to speak out to their constituents with what USG has accomplished and improved. USG does a lot more than what I think OSU's students and faculty see. USG is a humble organization. I think they should "brag" a little more about their accomplishments and improvements to OSU.
• 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?
  My least favorite day of the year is yesterday. I hate to dwell on the past and regret things I have said or done that I do not necessarily agree with. People make mistakes but tomorrow's a new day. It's exciting for me to wake up each morning and think of what I will do today or who I will meet. There's a bright future ahead for all of us, especially if we don't dwell on our past.
