My leadership combines the drive of competitive basketball with the accountability of serving as your SSU Board Director. Over the past year, I’ve carried the voice of 20,000 students, making the difficult calls required for our betterment while maintaining academic excellence. Helping my fellow Bruins thrive and finding ease in their studies gives me internal peace. I don't just represent, I deliver concrete RESULTS!

Whether you are a domestic student facing the shift from OSAP grants to heavy loans or an international student excluded from work-study opportunities, the financial burden on all Sheridan students has reached a breaking point. The current provincial model which now mandates that at least 75% of OSAP be issued as loans is burying domestic students in debt before they even graduate. Simultaneously, our international student community remains a vital part of campus life yet is systemically blocked from the same on-campus work-study roles that help others stay afloat. As a Board member, I will advocate for a more equitable funding model that prioritizes non-repayable grants and pushes for the expansion of on-campus employment that is inclusive of all students, regardless of their status. My goal is to ensure that no Sheridan student is forced to sacrifice their academic success due to mounting financial barriers or a lack of opportunity to work where they study.

“The most pressing issue at Davis is Campus Vitality, as students often leave the building to find better food or social connections. Whether facing heavy snow or hot summer afternoons, the best solution is bringing high-quality options right inside our campus. I will advocate for an expanded menu that serves our diverse student population with healthy, high-protein, vegetarian, and Halal options available from 8 AM to 8 PM to support students throughout the day. Additionally, I will push for more frequent social events and pop-up markets in The Den designed to make socializing easier and more accessible for everyone. As a current Board member and student leader, I have the proven experience to turn these needs into a vibrant, indoor campus reality.”
What are some of the student issues that you would like to bring to the Board table?
Why is health and wellness the ARea YOU ARE MOST PASSIOnate ABOUT?
As someone who has led diverse teams from sports to technology, I understand that true leadership means recognizing and addressing our community's core challenges. The urgency of prioritizing mental health became clear one late evening when I found my closest friend, a high-achieving Sheridan student huddled alone in the library, paralyzed by anxiety. Despite having access to Empower Me's comprehensive mental health resources, she didn't know help was literally at her fingertips. This moment revealed not just a service gap, but a cultural challenge in how we approach mental wellness at Sheridan.
As an international student leader, I've observed a concerning disconnect: while 90% of Sheridan students report feeling overwhelmed by academic demands (2016 Sheridan Sun), only fraction of these utilize Empower Me, a service included in our fees. Students often view counseling as a last resort, battle cultural stigma, or wait until crisis points to seek help, despite services being available in 200+ languages, 24/7.
To transform this landscape, I propose four strategic initiatives. First, the "Wellness Champions" Network will train student leaders to share authentic stories about using Empower Me, creating multilingual content that shows diverse uses of mental health support and demonstrates how proactive mental health care enhances academic success.
Second, through 'Wellness Wednesday' Integration, we'll host quick-guide sessions during high-traffic periods, partner with faculty to incorporate wellness breaks during intensive academic periods, and provide immediate access to support during stress points.
Third, our Semester Wellness Journey will develop strategic check-in points throughout the academic calendar, create proactive support pathways before high-stress periods, and integrate mental health resources into orientation week and regular student life.
Fourth, our Cultural Bridge-Building initiative will produce multilingual resource guides, share culturally relevant success stories, and establish peer support networks within cultural communities and clubs.
These initiatives align perfectly with SSU's pillars of enhancing student well-being, creating an inclusive student experience, and ensuring accountability in service delivery. By transforming how we view mental health support, from crisis intervention to proactive self-care, we can create lasting change.
As your Board representative, I envision a Sheridan where accessing Empower Me is as natural as visiting the library, where seeking support is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's build a campus culture where every student knows: mental wellness isn't just about surviving your education, it's about thriving through it.
As your voice on the Board, I commit to building a Sheridan where mental wellness isn't just supported, it's woven into the very fabric of our campus culture.
“I want to make a mark on campus by Inspiring the next student leaders.”

As your current Board of Director and a third-year SDNE student, I am running for re-election to continue the work we have started together. My journey is driven by a singular vision: empowering students through technology and community building. From leading basketball teams as captain to coaching championship-winning teams, leadership has always been part of who I am.
When I first stepped onto campus, I saw opportunities to create a lasting impact. As a former core member of the Google Developer Student Club, I transformed this vision into reality. Through events like ‘Build with AI’ and ‘LeetCode Jams’ workshops, I helped students bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world application. At the SSA's 'Pathways to Success' workshop, I inspired over 50 fellow students to harness technology for solving real-world challenges. Through SSU club events and Google-sponsored workshops, I have created spaces where knowledge flows freely and innovation thrives.
My commitment extends beyond academic boundaries. Working closely with the City of Brampton's administration, and supported by Deputy Mayor Harkirat Singh's endorsement, I have learned that true leadership means serving both campus and community. Vote for a leader who codes solutions, not just promises. Together, we will build a Sheridan where innovation meets inclusivity, and every student thrives.

The SSU must prioritize a Holistic Vitality Model that addresses the interconnected areas of student life: Financial Security, Food Accessibility, and Mental Well-Being. As we look toward the 2026-2027 term, our strategy should move beyond providing services to actively removing the barriers that prevent students from thriving. This means fighting for inclusive work-study opportunities for international students and grant-based funding for domestic students to alleviate financial strain. Simultaneously, we must transform our physical campus into a supportive hub by securing diverse, healthy food options from 8 AM to 8 PM and fostering social environments that help students decompress during high-stress periods. By addressing these core areas of student life, the SSU ensures that every student, regardless of their status or program, is empowered both inside and outside the classroom.
