Background
A university student with majors in English, French, and International Studies. A member on Neopoet for 8 years. I am also working as the director of social media for Neopoet.
Qualities
Understanding, fair, and hard-working.
Diplomacy
I listen to both sides of the story before making any judgment. I believe in giving everyone a fair shot.
Leadership
I have excellent leadership abilities. I was the captain of my school's Odyssey of the Minds team for three years, a junior member of the NC Odyssey of the Mids State Board, the secretary for my school's GSA Spectrum, and I am the president of my school's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta English Honors Society.
Availability
I am available most days by email at [email protected]. I also check my messages on Neopoet regularly.
Future Direction
I would love to see Neopoet blossom into a diverse and active community of poets. I think the best thing we can do now is encourage new membership. Perhaps the greatest challenge for Neopoet as a whole is just getting the name out there. For the community, I think the challenge is that there are a small group of dedicated members who contribute the majority of the work to the community. I would like to encourage the less active members to get more involved. I think the best way to do that is by offering more direct opportunities for involvement, like workshops and contests. Neopoet's greatest strength by far is the dedication of its volunteers to creating a productive environment that fosters creativity and growth through detailed workshops.
Alternative Role
If not elected, I would be happy to continue to work with the Social Media Department. I also think that I would be interested in mentoring.
