• Question 1:How would you make sure your constituents know who you are and how they can contact you?
  I would make a conscious effort to be visible and available for all off-campus students. What's difficult about off-campus is that often times many students aren't even aware of that they have representatives in the senate. I would like to actively engage the off-campus community in order to effectively maintain and represent their interests.
• Question 2:How do you respond to accusations that joining USG senate is all about resume padding?
  Joining undergraduate student government is much more that just a way to add something to a resume. It is a large time commitment and the students involved, more often than not, really feel strongly about our university and want to make sure the undergraduate interests are represented. For me personally, it's a great way to see how the university is run and really become a part of that process.
• Question 3:How would you like to see USG improve?
  I would like to see it become more accessible to students. As a freshman at OSU this year, I was generally unaware of the student government. I think USG, in both the legislative and executive branches, needs to reach out more to undergraduate students and really represent their interests.

  None
