Platform Statement: "As the past BSW and current student representative, I had the opportunity to meet students from across the state and the country. I often encountered students who expressed hesitation about joining the state chapter because of expensive membership fees. As a recent graduate, I understand the financial struggles many of us face and how important it is to have leadership opportunities. Students are the next leaders of the profession, and financial barriers should not be an issue. The first step is to advocate for lower membership fees for students. I also hope to continue cultivating a more inclusive and anti-racist chapter through the various initiatives established at the NASW-NYS chapter."
