Running For: 2018-19 Nominating Committee
Campaign Statement
It is a great privilege to be nominated for this committee. Being accepted to Cooper was one of the greatest gifts in my life, and I aspire to give back and pay it forward throughout my career. It is undoubtedly an exciting time at Cooper—I look forward to being actively involved in the Alumni Association as the school transitions back towards its mission of full-tuition scholarships. Since graduation, I have served as an alumni mentor in the Mentorship Program. I have had the great pleasure of meeting and mentoring current students on their academic and professional pursuits, and look forward to engaging with my past students in this new role within the CUAA. I am excited for this opportunity and am eager to contribute to the Cooper community in a greater capacity.
