I am a fourth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering and have been an active organizer for CGSU since my first semester at Cornell. From the initial campaign to secure union recognition to our most recent contract fight, I have been deeply engaged in building worker power; especially within engineering, a space inadequately addressed by traditional organizing models. Through strategic experimentation and persistence, I helped shift the terrain of graduate labor organizing in STEM. I was elected as a Region 4 representative to the CGSU Constitution Committee, where I helped draft a constitution that reflects our core principles: militant democracy, shop floor power, and structural preparedness to confront and defeat the boss. Looking ahead, I want to help build a union that reflects the complexity of our campus and stays responsive in the face of employer opposition. That requires systems that support both quick coordination and broad member engagement. I see real potential to expand our efficacy through reliable documentation, democratic decision-making, and clearer pathways into union work. I believe transparency should be grounded in member control, ensuring records are well-maintained and accessible to members, while being thoughtful about how we share information to promote organizing efforts, protect member privacy, and encourage open internal discussion. I am running for Recording Secretary with the Fight Together 4 CGSU slate because I believe rigorous documentation and standard rules of conduct for leadership accountability and member transparency are not bureaucratic formalities. Rather, they are foundational tools in the struggle for a truly democratic, rank-and-file-led union.
