I’m seeking candidacy because I believe that we students spend an inordinate amount of money on books, food, resources, and recreation, and I want to lessen that burden for everyone. A small break—an occasional free lunch, a discounted trip to the Phillies, a grant for a microwave—can go a long way in alleviating the financial burden of school and raising morale to ensure success.
I had the opportunity to raise money and start the charity Kid’s Place, in which St. Louis students conduct initiatives with children from the inner-city to give them a safe place to learn, and I had the opportunity to start an endowment investment program at my high school in which we managed $100,000 in a customized portfolio. I know finance, and I want you to come to me with any concerns you have because my candidacy is founded on making Penn better for you.
