I am passionate about Education Policy, Civil Rights, and Environmental.
As a regent, We will be able to make ensure that all colleges are able to follow the right procedures and policy for all students, professors, and administers to better our Higher Education System. We will also have the right to oversee budgets of the colleges and help assist in readjusting tuition costs for all students.
The Life of David Gale. That film holds image and corruption at its core, but once someone uncovers the truth, it must be told in order to do justice.
The first historical event that happened in my life time was when Obama was elected as president. My 6th grade english teacher pulled out the TV in the middle of class and was making us watch it. He was saying that this is a historical moment for the United States and that one day we might make it on there too.
The Biggest Struggle has been racism. As an Asian American, I have dealt with people classifying me as other races. My biggest moto in life is to #StopAsianHate. No one has to deal with racism in their life and our Asian American Community must stand up to the racism. https://www.8newsnow.com/i-team/i-team-the-fbi-will-always-be-there-agency-launches-campaign-to-encourage-reporting-of-hate-crimes-las-vegas-nevada/
The most important responsibility is making the high education system transparent and accessible for anyone to access. If a Spanish speaker needed to access a higher education resource, they must have it in that language and have the ability to be able to share and get to it easily.
One known power is that the board of regents have access to receive funding from the state to pay for local programs and services. No one really connects the state legislature to the Board of Regents, but we must have access for people to be able to recognize that and work together on making that more noticeable.
I believe that it is extremely beneficial for anyone to be a Nevada System of Higher Education to be within the office and graduated from the campus for this position. No real political experience is needed but just having the access to the State resources and connections is one of the necessities for this position.
They must have communication skills, research skills, financial skills, and able to be detail oriented.
When I have my first kid, they are gonna be named food. Why? Because everyone loves food.
