I am a senior at the University of Arizona, currently double majoring in Philosophy and English Literature. Originally, I am from Las Vegas, Nevada where I lived until I moved to Tucson, Arizona to begin my collegiate studies.

I have serve as a Student-Body Senator for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. As a sophomore, I held the position of Special Events Chair for the University Activities Board, where I programmed social justice and political themed events for the campus at-large. I was also the musician for a popular improvisational comedy troupe on campus aptly named the Charles Darwin Experience. During the Fall 2008 semester I interned for the Arizona Students' Association, which serves as the student voice to the university's administration, the Arizona Board of Regents and the Arizona State Legistature. Also, I am a proud member of the Honors College. It seems like a lot, but I am very dedicated to helping others and doing everything in my power to make a difference in my community any way I can.

 As a Student-Body Senator:

While serving the 38,000 students at the university, I created a Peer Mentorship program geared towards aiding new, struggling, and exploratory students find their academic and social niches on campus. See more information at peers.asua.arizona.edu.

I wrote various resolutions throughout the year on everything from textbook campaigns, to state legislature oppositions, to our own legislative responses as a student government.

As an Arizona Students' Association Intern:

I was a head student organizer for the UAVotes2008 campaign that registered over 4,000 students to vote. I personally wrote and directed a grassroots promotional video that was a spoof on the celebrity public service announcement saying, in a facetious manner, "Don't Vote."
