Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service


I, along with the other UF student senators, spent the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday giving back the the children of our community. We went to the United Way and painted 10 bookshelves for students who do not have access to books. The bookshelves were then filled with over 800 books for the children to take freely.
Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can make a difference. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
No child should ever be deprived of books. I believe we impacted the lives of those students that day.

Candidacy announcement


Today, I was announced as the Swamp Party's candidate for UF Student Body President. As I mentioned in my speech, I am so humbled by the challenge of becoming only the 5th female student body president in the 104 year history of student government. I understand the importance of working together. The leaders of our university's past have worked so hard to make our campus a better place, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to continue in the betterment of the University of Florida.

Make sure to visit the the Swamp Party website for more information!
