As your Senator:
Advocate for greater research opportunities, including cross-faculty research
Focus on creating career support pathways and increased resources, including networking, events, and partnerships
Serve on budget committee to fight for better use of graduate tuition (back into our own programs!)
Expand Innovation UBC to better support student-run companies and start-ups
Push for the PhD and graduate stipends to be tied to the CPI
Ensure graduate students are informed about what their senate reps are doing through op-eds and monthly newsletters
My top 5 committee picks:

There is much more I hope to do on the Senate this upcoming year, and I look forward to meeting with students and groups accross campus to ensure their voices and oppinions are heard in my advocacy.
