I have previously served on my high school's ASB as well as “Senator at Large 1” on the San Joaquin Delta College ASDC board. As a member of the Campus Life committee, I have taken note of the step-by-step process for each stage in an event.

Talents and Strengths:

Talents and Strengths:
There are two categories of talents and strengths I have that I believe would contribute to the ASDC if elected to be Senator At-Large. The first category is personal: as a sociable and open-minded person, I am more than willing to be engaged and lend an ear to the student body of Delta College, all of which I intend on representing to the best of my abilities. By being accessible, responsive, and friendly representation as part of the ASDC, my talents as a person will be very useful. Additionally, however, are my technical skills: skilled in most all Microsoft Office programs, somewhat skilled in graphic design software, articulate and fast to learn, I believe my technical skills are very useful for the position of Senator At-Large with the ASDC, especially as its duties are that of a jack-of-all-trades. Overall, combining and coordinating my personal and technical skills means my addition to the ASDC will be nothing but a net positive, so that anything that needs to be done, will be done.
Candidate for:
President
Statement:
One of the main roles of ASDC President is to represent ASDC and advocate for students in any way possible. I feel that as the Senator of Legislative Affairs, this has prepared me to be in a position of representing students and leading ASDC wherever its board members take it. Being the sole chair of the Legislative Affairs committee has allowed me to hear the concerns of groups on campus and learn how best to support all students while also allowing ourselves to include everyone in the conversation.
Talents and Strengths:
One strength I believe I will contribute is my communication skills. I've learned that whether it is faculty or students or other ASDC officers, everyone involved should be kept in the loop. Great communication to me means not just speaking with the purpose to share goals or ideas, but it also means hearing others. ASDC really is the messenger between campus admin and students, which means communication is key to the best representation of our students. Another strength I can contribute to ASDC is reflection. Any time something didn't go as planned, whether it's in my own life or on ASDC, reflection became a way of solving problems that were either foreseeable or unpredictable. Every event, meeting, or decision I attended, showed up to, or made didn't always go smoothly, so being able to step back and see how to improve became a key skill of mine.
Candidate for:
Treasurer
Statement:
I consider myself the best candidate for this position because I am currently majored in accounting. I have a goal to become a licensed CPA. I know that this position and opportunity would be great experience for me given my future career goal. Also, I know this position would bring out my strongest qualities, which are my analytical and organizational skills.
Talents and Strengths:
I have many strength to contribue to the ASDC. For example, I have great communication skills, In 2019, I was the leader of the group that organized the first "Student Entrepreneurial Expo" at San Joaquin Delta College Stockton location. That opportunity allowed me to recognize my own strength in communication, from speaking with the culinary department, to discovering student vendors, getting approvals from the College Administration Board, and etc. I also have great analytical and organizational skills. I have in the past worked with budgets for again the "Student Entrepreneurial Expo", which was a successful event that had over 100 Student vendors registered and organized over a short time-frame.
