GU-Qatar Candidates

I find joy in planning events for a community. I have done so for Northwestern University in Qatar for 2 years. I would like to bring my energy to Staff AAP and work with the brilliant team in hosting a wide range of events for our community.

II am honored to accept the nomination for the Staff/AAP Advisory Council. As an Event Coordinator at GU-Q, my professional life is centered on collaboration, logistics, and community-building. I believe these skills are vital for a Council representative tasked with navigating diverse staff needs and advocating for meaningful institutional change.

My primary motivation for joining the Council is to ensure that the unique perspectives of our GU-Q staff are integrated into the broader University dialogue. Working at an international campus offers a distinct vantage point on staff engagement and administrative policy. I am committed to acting as a proactive bridge, ensuring that our voices are heard in discussions regarding professional development, workplace culture, and staff well-being.

In my daily role, I have learned that successful outcomes depend on active listening and effective problem-solving. I intend to bring this same collaborative spirit to the Council. I am particularly interested in:

Enhancing Communication: Improving the flow of information between leadership and staff.

Inclusivity: Ensuring policies reflect the diverse geographical and professional realities of our workforce.

Professional Growth: Advocating for resources that empower Staff and AAPs to thrive within the Georgetown community.

I am eager to contribute my organizational expertise and energy to the Council’s mission. By serving as a dedicated advocate for my colleagues, I hope to foster a more connected and supportive environment for all Georgetown employees.

As a proud member of the Georgetown University in Qatar community, I want to run for the Staff/AAP Council simply to step up for the people who make this campus so special. Working here in Doha, we have unique needs and challenges that must be clearly communicated to university leadership.

If elected, I promise to be an approachable and empathetic sounding board for our campus concerns. My goal is to ensure our staff and academic professionals are genuinely included in university-wide decisions, while advocating for equitable policies and expanded professional growth. I am committed to making sure we are heard, valued, and effectively represented.
