 1. What are your goals if elected Student Government Association secretary?  My goals are to spread the goals and happenings inside the SGA to the entire student body. I want to bring better communication to SGA and I plan on doing that through the newsletters and SGA's Web page. I would also like to get some of the different organizations and student groups more involved in SGA. House could use some more diversity in it and that will happen if we can get more students active in SGA.
 2. What are your qualifications to serve as SGA secretary?  This is my second year to be involved with SGA. My freshman year, I was elected representative for Brachman Hall. For the last two years, I have served on Programming Council's Concert Committee. I am also currently on the Hall Council for Brachman. And yes, I truly can type 60 words a minute.
 3. What is the No. 1 issue you think House should address next year, and what is your suggestion for what House should do?  Since TCU is trying to diversify the school, SGA should work hard along with the school on this issue. We should work with the school hand in hand on the issue of diversity. We, as the SGA, should be the biggest promoters of our school. By working with the school and doing everything we possibly can, we can help push this issue in the right direction.
 4. What is the one unique thing you have done as a TCU student that sets you apart from other students?  One thing I am really proud of is that I am an alumni of the Disney College Program. After working hard, I got a job within the Disney Marketing Department as the representative in charge of recruiting at TCU. Not only do I represent the Disney Corporation here, I also represent TCU in Orlando three months every year. I've been trained in writing reports and keeping portfolios for the company. What I have learned will greatly help me in the role of SGA secretary.
 5. Do you feel low attendance at House meetings or delegates not staying through a complete meeting is a problem? If so, what would you do about it?  Being elected to SGA by your peers is a great responsibility. SGA needs to be more strict when it comes to attendance policies. I would possibly lower the number of House meetings a delegate can miss from four to three, and if a delegate were to miss two consecutive meetings without a reasonable excuse, that could be cause for removal. We need people in House who want to take the responsibility seriously so we can make positive changes.
