Candidate Bios

President

Why do you want to run for this position?

I want to be student president because I am excited to lead and make a positive impact. I like getting to know people and making them feel welcome and included. I value different ideas and helping people get together so that everyone is heard and represented. I want to keep building on the positive environment at our school and make it an even better experience for everyone.

Vice President (pick one)

Why do you want to run for this position?

I have been to school before for my bachelor’s in business management. I want to show the incoming students that they will in anyway will have an impact in the world. I want to show this by being a leader and as a role model. Being resourceful is a great character I have. I have 9 years of administrative experience in the workforce working in different industries. This would be a great way to help others understand diversity in the workforce. I truly think having my experience will help others in every different field they are going into. I am 36 years old and coming back to school for Radiology.

Why do you want to run for this position?

I would like to run for VP because I really want to get myself make people feel good about themselves in every way possible. Even when times can get tough I will still do my 100% best to make college life fun for students, and I know this position is one step lower than the lead position but I would really be a great assistance to the president and even when it comes to sacrifices I will do what it takes to be a great assistance to the president. As a vice president I will do anything it takes to help the president and to make students at UCBA happy so that they can enjoy their time here at UCBA. To start off I would like to do a small giveaway to the first 5 people that vote for me as the VP in SG to put some smiles on student faces. But in conclusion, I would love to run for VP to get myself out there and to put some smiles on students’ faces.

Treasurer

Why do you want to run for this position?

I want to run for Treasurer because I’m passionate about serving the UC Blue Ash student community. Through my involvement with the First Year Leadership Council in UC Student Government, I’ve learned the importance of collaboration and advocacy. As President of Student Government in high school, I served as a bridge between students and administration, developing strong communication, organization, and teamwork skills. These experiences motivate me to take on the role of Treasurer, where I can manage resources responsibly, support student initiatives, and ensure transparency in how funds benefit our campus.

Public Relations Coordinator

Why do you want to run for this position?

I have attended student government meetings throughout the course of my first year here. Their leadership inspired me to follow in their footsteps and help guide others and support the student body here. Being in the public relations role would widen my understanding of the various involvement opportunities around campus and build my leadership skills.

Senator (pick two)

Why do you want to run for this position?

I want to run for senator of Blue Ash because I believe that it is a part of my life’s purpose to serve, uplift and unify people from all walks of life. I have been equipped with the ability to adapt to and deeply connect to those who are different from me whether that be age, race, culture, or even SES. It is a passion of mine to be a vessel and a voice for those seen and unseen!

Why do you want to run for this position?

I want to run for Student Government Senator because I care about making sure student voices are actually heard and turned into action. As someone who is actively involved on campus and understands the challenges students face, I’m committed to advocating for real change, improving student experiences, and creating opportunities that benefit everyone, not just a few.

Why do you want to run for this position?

I would like to be a part of student government because I care about UCBA’s student experience. As an older student that has taken a few years to figure out my path, I think I can offer a unique perspective to the Senator position, and make sure that everyone, from students straight out of high school to adults with full-time jobs and families, feel comfortable and have fun on campus.
