"I am very excited to become an active participant in CUCSA. I enjoy getting a broad perspective of the University that exists beyond my immediate work environment. I have a lot of energy and passion around many different staff issues, including career development and networking, and I look forward to bringing that energy to CUCSA as a junior delegate."
