I bring experience and a strong commitment to support the student body. As a Senator who served various committees and communities, I was able to learn that the most effective way to promote growth in my community was to go out and interact with students. As a Lobby Corps Senate representative, I engaged students in elections, which helped CSULB earn an award for the highest number of students registered to vote. My enthusiasm also drove me to personally approach students rather than relying on them to come to my table. Because I knew most were afraid to. This led to me discovering that many students around me face the issue of housing insecurity. Now I am dedicated to addressing this issue. My experience in student government combined with my commitment to supporting the student body will allow me to create meaningful change and ensure the growth of students at CSULB

During my time as a Senator in Lobby Corps, I was able to get familiar with CSSA and with the largest issues students face in the CSU system. The 8% budget cut is a huge problem. It is resulting in a net loss of 375 million dollars across all 23 CSU campuses, this is going to severely impact students. Another large-scale issue is the possible removal of financial aid benefits. The new administration has already paused certain college benefits and has threatened to cut FAFSA entirely, many students depend on it for an affordable education. Losing financial aid would be catastrophic for thousands of CSU students, especially for those from a lower-income background. I will use social media to inform the student body as it is the most effective way to reach students. Additionally, I will table in various locations on campus to maximize the number of students I reach.

Bringing student issues to the university starts with direct communication and engagement between students and student government leaders. As a Senator representing Athletics, I led efforts to bring back Homecoming after students and coaches expressed their desire for its return. Since then, I have had meetings to get it returned officially. Additionally, I used my ASI connections to bring back Spirit Week to CSULB. I will prioritize expanding tabling efforts for all student government members to address even more student concerts. I will also ensure issues brought up from other student government leaders get passed on to the university and addressed. By communicating with them and reviewing their reports. As a Senator and as your future ASI president, I am passionate about advocating for students and ensuring their voices are heard. I aim to be the voice of students and represent their needs while keeping our campus engaged and bright.

I bring a deep understanding of resilience, determination, and the power of opportunity. Growing up in Compton, I witnessed how access—or lack of it—can shape someone’s future. That experience drives me to advocate for expanded scholarships, mentorships, and leadership programs for students from all backgrounds. My studies in law and politics at CSU Long Beach have taught me how to navigate structures of power, build partnerships, and deliver real solutions.

I will work to modernize campus technology—starting with digital student IDs—to ensure students can access shuttles, library resources, and appointments more easily. I’m also committed to solving the parking problem by partnering with the university and city to improve both on-campus and off-campus parking options.

As Executive Vice President, I’ll create opportunities, eliminate barriers, and make sure every student feels supported and empowered to succeed. Together, we’ll build a campus where everyone can thrive.

By next year, I want the Senate to make tangible progress on key issues affecting students’ daily lives. First, I’ll work to secure expanded scholarship funding and mentorship opportunities, ensuring that students from low-income and underrepresented backgrounds have the support they need to succeed. I’ll also push to modernize campus technology by introducing digital student IDs on mobile devices, making it easier to access essential services like shuttles, library checkouts, and appointments.

Addressing the parking issue is another priority. I’ll collaborate with the university and city officials to expand on-campus parking, lease nearby spaces, and establish convenient park-and-ride options.

Beyond these initiatives, I want to promote transparency and open dialogue between the Senate and the student body, ensuring that every voice is heard and represented. My goal is to help build a more inclusive and accessible campus where all students can grow, thrive, and feel supported.

Leadership isn’t about status—it’s about action. As Chair, I will ensure the student government serves every student, not just insiders and administrators. That starts with real accountability: open forums for student concerns, regular updates on Senate decisions, and full transparency in budgeting and policies.

I will make sure decisions reflect the voices of students, not just a handful of officials. That means prioritizing student needs by actively seeking input from commuters, first-generation students, and working students—those often left out of the conversation. Beyond words, I will fight for real, tangible change: increasing funding for student-led initiatives, expanding scholarships and emergency grants, and cutting through red tape so students can access resources without unnecessary barriers.

This isn’t about positions and titles—it’s about making student government work for students. I won’t just represent you—I’ll fight alongside you.

I bring a strong commitment to advocacy and strategic planning to ensure students have access to the resources they need. My experience as a trustee and chair of the services committee has given me insight into student concerns, and I will use this knowledge to drive meaningful initiatives. I believe in empowering students by fostering an environment of mentorship, leadership development, and financial literacy. By creating opportunities for skill-building workshops, networking events, and funding accessibility, I will work to ensure students are not only supported but also encouraged to take charge of their own success.

I will streamline communication by promoting financial aid workshops. Collaborating with student organizations, academic departments, and campus financial offices, I will actively promote grants, scholarships, and reimbursement programs via social media, email newsletters, and in-person events. Additionally, I will advocate for simplified application processes and increased funding transparency to ensure students understand and take full advantage of the opportunities available to them

My primary goal is to ensure a student-centered, transparent, and equitable budget that maximizes resources for student success. I will prioritize funding for essential student services, clubs, and initiatives that promote academic and personal growth. Additionally, I aim to improve financial literacy by increasing budget transparency and student engagement in the allocation process. By fostering open dialogue between student leaders and financial committees, I hope to make ASI’s budgeting more inclusive and reflective of student needs.

If elected, I will improve CSULB student engagement by bringing my strong leadership, money management, and event organizing abilities. In my roles as Treasurer for GDSC and Director of Events for AESB, I have effectively planned events that encourage teamwork and individual development. My work as a research assistant has improved my advocacy and problem-solving abilities, which I will apply to make sure that USU and SRWC policies actually help students.

In order to create a more more supportive campus environment, I will encourage inclusive programming, improve facilities, and advertise wellness initiatives. I will advocate for significant reforms that improve student life by paying close attention to the issues raised by students. We can all benefit from a more connected and stimulating environment at CSULB if we work together!

I will work to increase awareness of campus and ASI resources through social media, interactive events, and student organization collaborations. Many students miss out on valuable opportunities simply due to a lack of visibility. I will advocate for a centralized digital platform highlighting resources, events, and services, along with targeted email campaigns to keep students informed.

Additionally, I will push for more outreach during orientations, classroom presentations, and club meetings to ensure students learn about these resources early on. Engaging marketing campaigns, QR code posters across campus, and peer-led info sessions will further enhance visibility. By making information more accessible and engaging, we can ensure every student benefits from what CSULB and ASI have to offer!

I think the SRWC would gain a lot from having places specifically designed for mental health, such as stress-relieving areas, meditation spaces, and relaxation rooms. A more comprehensive wellness experience for students would result from providing specific quiet areas for mindfulness and mental health, even though physical exercise is still crucial.

On the other hand, the USU might add more areas for interactive activities, such gaming lounges, painting corners, or music rooms, to promote creativity and student involvement outside of the classroom. Students would have more opportunities to relax, interact with their friends, and pursue their interests in these areas.

Additionally, I would advocate for more affordable or free recreational classes, such as self-defense, dance, and nutrition workshops, ensuring all students can access these valuable programs.

As a dedicated kinesiology student and an advocate for student wellness, I bring a passion for fostering personal and professional growth among my peers. My experience as ASI Commissioner of Wellness Affairs and my involvement in organizing events like Spring into Wellness have strengthened my leadership, communication, and event-planning skills. I believe in creating inclusive spaces where students can explore their potential, access resources, and build a supportive community. By encouraging collaboration between student organizations, promoting mentorship opportunities, and ensuring clear communication, I aim to enhance engagement and personal development. My commitment to wellness, both physical and mental, aligns with my goal of helping students thrive academically and personally.

I would create more awareness of campus and ASI resources by enhancing outreach through social media, student organization partnerships, and interactive events. As a former ASI Commissioner of Wellness Affairs, I’ve seen the impact of clear, engaging promotion. I’d advocate for a centralized, easy-to-access digital hub highlighting resources and opportunities. Additionally, I’d implement a peer ambassador program where students actively share their experiences and guide others to available services. Hosting resource fairs, classroom visits, and collaboration with first-year programs would also ensure students are informed early. My goal is to make campus resources more visible, accessible, and engaging for all students.

One area for improvement is the expansion of wellness and mental health programs at the Student Recreation & Wellness Center (SRWC). While the SRWC offers great fitness opportunities, incorporating more workshops focused on mental well-being—such as mindfulness, stress management, and coping techniques—would provide a holistic approach to student wellness. Additionally, offering more accessible fitness classes tailored to various skill levels and interests, such as adaptive fitness for students with disabilities or culturally diverse workout options, could make the center more inclusive. At the University Student Union (USU), more academic support programs, like tutoring workshops or study groups for specific majors, could be beneficial for students balancing coursework with extracurricular activities. These improvements would enhance the overall student experience by promoting physical, mental, and academic well-being in an integrated way.

Making sure that equipment often used by students and staff is properly working and to the best of its ability. Ensuring on the rules of the gym are being followed to create a safe and positive environment. Allowing more fun and engaging opportunities that allow students to be represented, like allowing a live playlist for students to add songs that can be played in the SRWC. Making the gym more engaging with TV’s showing popular movies and tv shows that can make going to the gym, to some people, more enjoyable. These small engaging ideas can make the gym fun for those alone or with a group of people. Creating a mindset of having fun in an environment creates a healthy habit to keep engaging in that same environment.

Creating opportunities that engage students, like free Long Beach merchandise, is always the best way to promote school programs. Awards and opportunities at the SRWC should be more publicized with posters around school and more prizes for showing up. Students will create habits in their day when trying to reach a goal but all they need is a little motivation to show up. The main problem with college students is tuition, and being that there is a program at the SRWC that raffles a semester worth of tutuion paid for should be the main promotion for the SRWC. Allowing new trends and generational jokes to be a main source of allowing students to find and share programs and services. When creating funny posts it creates a mindset that the SRWC is a fun environment to get away from studies and work on our physical health.

I have noticed a lack of balance with certain equipment that are more popular, like the hip thrust machine that should at least have a duplicate present. The stairmaster is trending to achieve 45 minutes which allows less equipment available for long periods of time. Taking these into consideration and looking into equipment that could allow popular machines to take the place of less popular machines. Other ideas throughout the gym is allowing rooms where classes are held to be open for all students including the equipment. Often mats around the gym are all taken and those rooms are perfect for stretching and other stationary exercises but due to the hard floor a mat from the storage room is needed. One last thing I would propose an idea for a room to be dedicated to a cardio movie room, which is a movie theater with all cardio machines.

If elected, I will bring leadership, collaboration, and a deep commitment to student success to this position. As a former At-Large Senator and board member of the Association of Information Systems, I have experience advocating for students, bridging communication between administration and the student body, and working on initiatives that foster career growth.

I believe that growth happens when students have access to the right resources, opportunities, and connections. I will work to expand networking events, create more accessible career services, and ensure that student voices are heard in decision-making. By strengthening collaboration between students, faculty, and industry professionals, I will help cultivate an environment where every student in the College of Business can thrive.

I am committed to listening, taking action, and making real improvements that will positively impact our student community.

One pressing issue within the LBSU student body is the lack of accessible career development opportunities for students, especially in securing internships, networking, and job placements. Additionally, many students struggle with the rising costs of course materials which has placed a financial burden on students.

As College of Business Senator, I plan to address these concerns by advocating for more university-sponsored career fairs, networking events, and partnerships with local businesses to provide internship opportunities. I will also work with faculty and administration to explore cost-effective alternatives for course materials.

To bring these issues to the administration’s attention, I will use my position to voice student concerns through ASI Senate meetings, collaborate with student organizations, and organize student feedback forums to ensure that every student's needs are heard and addressed.

Before becoming a representative of ASI, I was unaware of its role and impact on students. During my time as a senator, I realized that a significant number of students also lacked awareness of what ASI does. To promote ASI initiatives and encourage greater student participation, I plan to collaborate with business clubs to share resources and opportunities. Additionally, I aim to host frequent tabling events to foster casual interactions between students and ASI representatives, making student government more approachable and accessible.
