I am currently a PhD student in Engineering Materials; in 2008 I completed my Masters degree at the University of Windsor and in 2006 I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering from McMaster University. I will continue to advocate against tuition fee increases and fight for minimum guaranteed funding to all graduate students at the University of Windsor. In addition, I will make it a personal goal to maintain and increase graduate scholarships, awards and bursaries through the GSS to alleviate tuition increases and inflation. In addition I will make it a priority to maintain and enhance the sense of community and pride among graduate students through group activities and create a permanent welcoming new grad house.

Please do not hesitate to send e-mails if you have questions or concerns, I will also be holding office hours where students can drop and chat or discuss issues or concerns. Please visit our website for details.
