In my previous involvement with the AMS, it opened my eyes to how much I enjoyed contributing to the vibrant community that the AMS hosts. Through my interactions with the AMS on the governance side of things, I quickly realized how much positive change was possible in this organization. The success we were able to achieve within COMPSA gave me the confidence to put myself forward for president. I owe my confidence in fulfilling the role of President to the three years prior I had worked in COMPSA.  

My biggest goal heading into this year is expanding and improving the relationship the AMS has with faculty societies. I’ve seen firsthand the amount of positive work that all the faculty societies do, and I want to support them to the best of my abilities within this role. 

This ties into another goal of mine which is to increase engagement with AMS assembly, the highest legislative body of AMS governance. As all faculty societies have voting seats on AMS assembly, their input will be paramount in ensuring a productive year. 

I’ll also be working closely with my communications director to improve the website in a continuous effort to make the AMS more transparent in our structure and operation. I care deeply about making it easy for students to learn about the many unique opportunities we provide on campus. 

I’m looking to participate in an organization with a rich history. I want an opportunity to contribute a year of hard work toward a community of passionate individuals who advocate for the best interests of students. I hope to leave my mark on student government at Queens by encouraging participation and creating a culture that promotes long term success and student satisfaction and serving our members the best I can. 

Believe in yourself! The election process can be very overwhelming, putting things down on paper can always be helpful as well. I talked as much as I could with any student groups that would be able to provide me with insight on how I can best structure my campaign to serve the members of the AMS. I also encourage you to figure out a support system so you always have someone to talk to, there will be hard moments in this process but they’re the ones that will prepare you most for the challenges you’ll encounter in this position.
