How to you balance all of the different things you do?
Early mornings and long nights. I usually prioritize what needs to be done right away and then, depending on how many tasks there are, I’ll make a list and start checking things off. Waking up early is just a self-discipline thing. I’ve learned that if I can work on things in the morning, there are less distractions and then my evenings are free.
What are some of the projects you are pursuing in UNO Student Government?
My role in Student Government, in addition to representing CBA, is Speaker of the Senate. So in a nutshell, I run the meetings and make sure that all of the other senators have things that they are working on. Some projects that we are working on now include removing holds on account for unpaid parking tickets, providing free legal counseling for students, and creating a Shuttle Tracking app.
What is your favorite part about being part of Student Government?
My favorite part about working on Student Government is taking all the things I hear people complain or ask about and then being able to actually do something about it. Sometimes I can fix the problem, sometimes I just receive an answer as to why some things are the way they are. Then I can provide better answers to people when they come to me.
What is your favorite thing about CBA?
The sense of community. In every class, or even sitting in the Stedman’s area, I have always felt like I could talk to people and we were all, more or less, on the same team.
