Here's What I Do
Representation
As Student Trustee, my main role is to represent the students of West Valley College to the government of the district. Whether it's by sharing your concerns at board meetings, or hearing from you about what you'd like to see change on campus, my goal is to best represent everyone who wants to be heard.
Outreach and Engagement
It is vital that every student take the time to vote, and make sure that their voices are heard by their government. That is why I've partnered with elected officials, and organizations all across the Bay, to help facilitate a growth in youth voter turnout.
Share Your Message
My work doesn't stop at the edge of the campus! West Valley is the home to nearly 10,000 smart and passionate students. As Student Trustee, I've enjoyed taking ideas from our campus, and spreading them to other communities, and some of the highest government offices in California.
