Candidate Statement
I have served in multiple committees during the past few years. I believe that the Faculty Council plays a very important role in the University by addressing a wide range of important and pressing items. Issues that are important to me are mental health of both students and faculty members, and improving equity at UNC for both students and faculty members.
