Why did you choose to become a GSG Senator?: To represent my constituency, and to serve as a liaison between students in my department and the student governing body. To the best of my knowledge, facilitate student concerns to student leadership and help disseminate information from university leadership to students.
How would you best serve your constituents?: By providing all the necessary information and updates useful for the students to excel in their academic and professional life. I will represent my constituency and be a voice for the students of my constituency. I will make sure that any questions or concerns of students of my constituency will be heard. I will keep my fellow students informed about GSG travel grants, activities, and answer any questions students may have.
Please tell us about your research or some fun facts about you: My research focuses on post-harvest processes and value-addition of seaweed. During my free time I like travelling, singing, and watching movies.
How do you plan on communicating with your constituents?: E-mail and Zoom meetings for pertinent issues.
