Vision & Commitment:
Having a financial background, I bring practical, pragmatic, and revenue-conscious qualities to the GPUS delegation. Passing resolutions and motions are great—but are there financial impacts that require consideration? Oftentimes, yes. My knowledge may be useful to explore the fiscal feasibility of various proposals—and perhaps offer arguments to support the proposal, or suggestions to mitigate financial-related effects.
Having a department management background, I seek for careful, thoughtful balances between ideals of de-centralization and responsibility, prioritization between local representation and competency, accommodation of both the ‘star’ and ‘team-player’ elements within a professional collegial environment. I seek to obtain Green Party Mission, Goals and Objectives ideally through practical, measured, ethical, and unbiased actions.

Having a core dedication to environment, I seek to restore the balance-of-nature and healthy-nature within human lives and within the world at large.
