What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
Being a former Student Voice Forum(school district)member honed my leadership and communication skills, enabling effective advocacy for student interests.As a returning student, I have a more extensive understanding of the faculty, its courses, and its structure, positioning me to effectively represent for current & new students(as I’m familiar with both classes).My international upbringing, fluency in English and Mandarin,and BIPOC/LGBTQIA+ perspective empower me to bridge cultural and linguistic divides, ensuring equitable support and inclusive advocacy for students from diverse backgrounds.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
If elected, my foremost goals revolve around cultivating an atmosphere that promotes active engagement with the faculty and the student body to collaboratively forge an educationally equitable, inclusive, and supportive environment.This entails facilitating a welcoming and encouraging environment, creating safe spaces, and establishing liaison between the faculty and the student body through effective communication and amplifying student voices to ensure they are heard and addressed. I aim to foster a sense of belonging and inclusion for all students from all backgrounds and of all identities.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
A combination of practical knowledge about the faculty, leadership experience,global perspectives,and advocacy for mental health & LGBTQIA+ awareness renders me a valuable candidate.As a Chinese-Canadian,I can understand diverse student perspectives and communicate fluently in English & Mandarin.As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community,I'm deeply committed to providing support,creating safe spaces,and fostering inclusivity for everyone.Being neurodivergent,I understand the significance of mental wellness,and I'm here to raise awareness and connect students to the resources/ support they may need.
