Assistant Director of Student Government Advising and Operations
September 2024 - Present
College provides student leaders with the opportunity to make an everlasting impact on the personal and professional trajectories of their peers. As the Assistant Director of Student Government Advising and Operations at Florida Atlantic University, I am focused on ensuring that student leaders leave behind a positive legacy on campus while thriving personally and professionally.
In this role, I assist the Department of Student Activities and Involvement at Florida Atlantic University, supporting and collaborating with the institution's Student Government body. Through strategic planning, our goal focuses on enhancing the student experience through events and policy initiatives aimed towards fostering community and personal development.
Recognizing the significance of student leadership, I collaborate closely with Student Government and other campus stakeholders to enhance strategies for recruitment, engagement, education, and support of the student body. A recurring challenge is the lack of awareness and involvement in existing leadership roles within Student Government. Addressing this requires a deeper understanding of the issue and the development of solutions to increase overall student engagement.
With institutional support, I work alongside two Graduate Assistants who play a vital role in addressing these challenges. They conduct surveys, facilitate interviews, and lead focus groups to better understand the needs and concerns of current student leaders and the broader Boca Raton campus community.
Additionally, the Graduate Assistants support my role and the Office of Student Activities and Involvement by organizing training sessions, tabling initiatives, and events designed to highlight the impact of Student Government and encourage greater participation from the student body.
