It’s an honor to have been selected by my colleagues to be their voice on the board. Having spent the past year as SGA president, I’ve developed strong working relationships with my peers and WVSOM’s faculty and staff. I’m excited to continue to grow these relationships, and my goal is to make sure student success remains at the forefront of every decision we make.
