1. How will you change the daily life of students in your college if elected?
I will be an advocate for students. Students will have the highest priority in every decision I make.

2. What is the most important issue facing students on campus?
Budget cuts make tuition increases, larger class sizes and a lesser-quality education, a possibility. We must understand the crisis and make tough choices to keep LSU a top-tier university.


3. Where do you see the University in five years?
LSU will remain a university that guarantees a quality education.


4. What will you change from the past administration?
President Watkins is doing a great job representing the student body. As for legislation, I will reduce wasteful spending.


5. Why are you qualified for the position you're running for?
Because of my strict upbringing with a father who serves in the military, I am respectful and responsible. I was blessed with being able to live in Asia for two years, and I believe that opportunity opened my eyes and made me a better person. I welcome challenge as an opportunity to make a difference. Baton Rouge is my home, and I believe in keeping LSU on top. Geaux Tigers!
