Joined Mason in 2000 (as a student!)
I joined Staff Senate in 2024
I love Mason because faculty and staff are so passionate about what they do and it’s a great place to do inspiring, impactful work.
I joined the Staff Senate because I’d like to expand my knowledge of Mason’s different departments, and offices, to collaborate and network more with colleagues, and advocate for the needs of staff university-wide.
