“Diversity and inclusion are important to me because I know how it feels to not be included and feel alone and unheard in a space. I have been in spaces where I did not feel as though I had the same resources as my white peers had to succeed or like the environment was welcoming for them and not me. I want to make sure that more space is made for voices of all kinds of backgrounds to be heard in order to widen our horizons at this university.”
