For twelve years, I’ve called Bloomington home—first as a graduate student pursuing my PhD in physics, then as a passionate advocate for university governance.

My journey at IU taught me that the best institutions thrive when leadership listens, decisions are transparent, and diverse voices are respected.

Today, I’m channeling my experience in student government, faculty councils, and scientific research toward a singular goal: bringing “Lux et Veritas” back to IU’s governance through thoughtful, principled leadership that puts the university community first.
