Bio:
My research interests include the development of global learning and teaching communities, and the need for increased communication, cultural, and contextual competencies involved with interacting as global citizens on the stage of the global world. I have a B.A. in communication with a research focus of cultural communication in education, a minor in education, and an additional degree in early child education. I also work with a non-profit organization based on the principles and practices of civil participation, service-learning, and education assistance through development of local and global relationships. I maintain an emphasis in global studies and language interaction and social organization. I have a passion for story telling as a means of sharing ideas and information.

What I hope to accomplish as the Vice President, Finance and Records:
The Chief financial officer and archivist of the GSAE assists the President in representing GSAE interests in the area of budget and financial planning. Ensures that GSAE meeting minutes and votes are recorded and published. Registers the GSAE with the Office of Student Life as a student group before September 15, each year. Delivers quarterly finance and progress report to Council. Maintains administrative file including copies of general correspondence, meetings, Charter, By-laws, and enacted resolutions are available for distribution. Ensures that bylaws are annually reviewed and that strategic goals are re-assessed. Ensures that events are supplied and that requisitions are submitted/paid.

Some areas I aim to serve in this coming years involve gathering student expectations about what kinds of support they need from advisers, mentors, and fellow students. Asking questions such as:
  • Do students want more course study groups?
  • Do students want workshops in technologies, building research teams, future career strategies?
  • How can we as Officers of GSAE work to meet these needs and interests?
  • Specifically, as VP Finance and Records I question, and will seek answers as to how we can meet these needs in ways that are economically and academically sustainable and abundant?
