I am a second year Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Engineering and have been organizing inside and outside my department since the Spring of 2025. During our strike escalation campaign, I met with many of my peers to discuss their concerns and inquiries regarding a potential strike. I was able to guide them on how to best balance their research alongside the integral fight for a contract. At the Strike Pledge GMM, I shared my story about inadequate wages and lack of relocation assistance. I am proud to have contributed to our fight for the best contract in our industry and secured higher wages plus a matriculation bonus. Now, as an interim steward in Region 4, I have begun working alongside students to protect their appointment security. In addition to my stewarding work, I am a Region 4 Representative on the Constitutional Committee and a member of the Contract Education Working Group. In both of these capacities, I live and breathe each contract article and have continued my dedication towards protecting workers at Cornell. I am excited to run for Regional Steward for Region 4 with the Fight Together 4 CGSU slate because I want to continue working towards a campus where students can feel safe and exercise their rights to a better tomorrow.
