• Question 1:How would you make sure your constituents know who you are and how they can contact you?
  Even though the off-campus population at Ohio State is extensive, it is very important to me to get my name out to every student living off-campus, in a fraternity, or a sorority, and allow them to understand that I am there to represent them in USG Senate. I plan on either emailing or passing out flyers to students in the off-campus community with my contact information within the first couple weeks of school, I will always be available to discuss issues and concerns with students, anything to better the university. I will be working with off-campus organizations, such as Off-Campus Student Services, to make sure that I understand the matters and needs of the students and represent them well in Senate.
• Question 2:How do you respond to accusations that joining USG senate is all about resume padding?
  I do not understand why these accusations are even being made. The only thing that USG is doing is finding ways to better Ohio State for the Undergraduate population, whether it is to keep students safe, saving money, or even providing events to educate the students about exciting activities, opportunities, and ways to get involved within the university. USG is made up of hard-working volunteers who are spending their time making sure that Ohio State students college experience is the best that it can be. Being a part of USG takes a lot of time, effort, and commitment, people who are in it only for resume padding, I would assume, would not waste their time.
• Question 3:How would you like to see USG improve?
  I would like to see USG reach out more to the students and provide them with information on how to get involved and the issues that are being discussed and voted on in Senate. I want the students to 100% understand that they have a say in the changes to the university and that they are huge part of the process.

  None
• Question 5:What is your least favorite day of the year; and why?
