"I enjoy being a member of the UWM BOV Legislative Advocacy Committee and the UWM BOV Community Communication and Outreach Committee because I am able to advocate on behalf of the needs of UWM and serve as a bridge between the university and the community, promoting awareness and understanding of its contributions to education, research, economic development, and cultural life."
