SOPHOMORE YEAR
Fall State LA 2015. That convention changed everything for me. I instantly fell in love with the debates, the energy, and the amazing community of delegates I met that weekend. As embarrassing as it is to admit now, I had no clue that you could run for office in JSA until I attended Winter Congress a few months later. Though I was so new and felt discouraged by the fact that I wasn't as assimilated in the JSA structure, I knew I wanted to give everything I had to this organization. Following Spring State that year, I applied to become your Director of Expansion. While I knew this was a huge long shot, I had no hesitation in putting myself out there for an organization I loved.

JUNIOR YEAR
A few weeks before my junior year started, I found out that I had miraculously been appointed to be your Director of Expansion. I was in total disbelief that I - a total nobody who was simply just passionate about JSA - was selected for such a seemingly unattainable position. Governor Justin Wittekind took a chance on me, and it was at that moment that I realized that I wanted to aspire to be in a position where I'd be able to pay that opportunity forward to another deserving JSAer. Serving as your Director of Expansion has been the greatest honor and has allowed me to realize my passions for JSA to a whole new extent. I've been able to work alongside new and old chapters through the expansion department. The indispensable experiences I've made this past year are what have led to me declaring my candidacy for Governor. It is time to not only “Be The People”, but to start Believing In The People!
