As an officer and founding member of the NBCC Council of Student Executives, my role is to make decisions to improve student life for all six NBCC campuses in the province of New Brunswick with a board of 12. I have played important roles in the incorporation of this organization as a non-profit. Other achievements that I have accomplished include tendering a Health and Dental plan for all NBCC students, including implementing a referendum, and planning for implementation for September 1, 2013. I have also lead multiple fundraising goals, totaling $10,000.00 for two charities. The Mark Gallagher Vocational school in Haiti and The Ryan's Well Foundation.More recently, I lead a team to review the job descriptions of all Student Union employees to provide some standardization, and with the board of directors for the year 2013/2014 helped lead the charge with a total restructuring of the student union. The plan has not yet moved to launch; however, this experience of standardizing job descriptions and functions, along with amalgamating six student unions into one provided me with invaluable experience which will help me in the workforce.
