I am the current Region 5 Regional Lead Steward and a third-year Ph.D. in Computer Science with a history of labor organizing at local and national levels. Before coming to Cornell, I was part of AFL-CIO staff and a member of Newsguild Local 32035. Since starting at Cornell in the Fall of 2023, I worked with CGSU during our first card drop and union election, with regular office visits and individual conversations to hear feedback throughout Cornell Bowers. After moving to Cornell Tech, I have continued to collaborate with other organizers across departments, putting on Tech-specific info sessions on strike mobilization and bargaining updates. In the coming year, I hope to build up a more sustainable and close-knit stewardship structure that allows us to fight for all students at Tech by taking on and winning grievances. I am running for Region 5 Lead Steward with the Build / Activate / Mobilize slate to build up strong, cross-campus leadership that will give our union the strength to act independently and make material gains at Cornell Tech.
