I am committed to Accessibility, Belonging and Culture because John 17 speaks to the dream that Jesus had for his followers, that Jesus wants us all to be one humanity, one people, one body of believers, just as he, himself, and the Spirit are one. As people of the good book and followers of Christ, it is my belief and desire to continue to work towards that dream of oneness that Dr. King talked about: the beloved community. The same dream that PUC wants to implement for a community of belonging. Because this is the agenda for God’s people on earth, I am dedicated, committed, and willing to do my part to work with individuals and departments on this campus to ensure that dream is realized on this campus. I am looking forward to partnering with everyone here in order to facilitate this beautiful dream of having a community of belonging.

At Pacific Union College I commit to continue individual collaboration with students from historically underrepresented backgrounds to create and improve access and student success. I have served as an advocate for first -generation students with professors and with institutional service departments. I currently represent students with disabilities to improve student access. As a member of several institutional committees created to further the goals of accessibility, belonging and culture, I learn about and promote these goals to my peers. I am committed to diversity in teaching, research, and service, and will actively seek opportunities in research, the classroom, and across campus to enhance opportunity and belonging.

I am committed to Accessibility, Belonging and Culture because I want to be one of the bricks that build a diverse community of inclusion at PUC. Our faculty, staff and students deserve better.
