Background
Junior biology major
Springdale, Ark.

How will you work to further encourage the administration to act on student concerns?
The key to encouraging the administration to act for students is to compromise. In the past, the students have done nothing but demand that issues be resolved and have been upset because their ideas were not accomplished. As a student body, we have to compromise to see our goals achieved.

What experience do you have that qualifies you for the office you are seeking?
I have been part of the House of Student Representatives for four semesters, and I know how the system works. I have helped rewrite several documents of the student body constitution. I have been an active part of Student Foundation where I have worked with many faculty members.

What is the number one issue you will work for if elected?
The primary issue I would like to work on is parking. Parking seems to be one of the largest student concerns right now. In the future that might change, and I would like to work on the most pressing issue because I am representative of the student body.

What will you do to make SGA and its officers more visible to the student body?
I think making officers and SGA more visible is up to the policies set at the beginning of the year. SGA members, including officers, need to realize they were elected to represent students. I believe representatives should be required to have weekly meetings for constituents.

What are your specific goals if you are elected?
I want to attain better parking for students and fix the double taxation issue with dining services. They said they do not double tax, but I have received a receipt that clearly says otherwise. I simply want as many students at TCU to be happy with their time here. I also want to bring back Homecoming concerts. It is a vital key in school spirit.
