Joining Santa Monica College in the summer of 2025, I realized just how much this school supports its students and is dedicated to helping students achieve success. As the student trustee, I would make it a priority that all students feel they have the tools to succeed and that their voices are heard in the decisions that affect them. I will act as the liaison between the Board of Trustees and the Associated Student Directors in order to continuously improve our school and provide more opportunities for students. I hope to help students reach their goals at this school, whether it's the transfer process, academic degrees, or career certificates. I plan to build on our current programs, such as the Disabled Student Programs and Services, The Center for Wellness and Wellbeing, and The Student Equity Center, to ensure that all students feel they have resources and assistance in reaching their goals. I would make it a goal to increase student awareness of the numerous events, clubs, and ways to find belonging at our community college. I believe the success of the students is determined by how connected and aware the staff is of the student body and what we need to be successful. I would be honored to help bridge the gap between the Board and the students of Santa Monica College.
