Program/Department: English

Why did you decide to become a GSG senator?: I was asked to run for the position by our cohorts sitting president and treasurer. I felt privileged with the opportunity to represent the Department of English graduate cohort.

How would you best serve your constituents?: I have served my constituents by not making decisions without consulting our organizations board and deciding on the best course of action based on the material implications of voting decisions as they bear on the experience of English GA’s TA’s and students.

Please tell us about your research or some fun facts about you: I research the uptake of metagenre writing and language ideology on online fitness tracking platforms.

How do you plan on communicating with your constituents?: I communicate with my cohort through email updates, conversations within the department, and our monthly organizational meetings
