Hi Gaiters!
I’m thrilled to be representing graduate students on campus this year as the Graduate Student Senator. I’m in my first year as a thesis-based Individualized M.A. student in the Sociology Department. My research interests lie with how social media functions as a liminal space that affects identity, cultural belonging, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and forms of discrimination, within the context of diaspora and displacement for the Latin American Diaspora in Québec.
I’d like to foster more community in our small graduate body on campus and ensure that our voices are part of the conversations that shape student life academically and socially. I believe strongly that graduate students can create the same well-known student experience as undergrads that BU is famous for. The opportunities to build up our community are boundless. I know that we have a lot of demands on our time, and I look forward to working with students to best identify and work towards the supports and activities that can benefit our experience and professional development.
I’m passionate about making sure everyone is heard, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any concerns, ideas you might have, if you need support, or just to connect and chat. I’m always happy to get to know fellow students, and I’m looking forward to meeting more graduate students on campus.
You can always reach me at srcgradsenator@ubishops.ca
