Candidate Bio
Nancy is a committed student who is passionate about politics and
policy. She has interned on Capitol Hill and worked with local politics
while being a full-time student, maintaining a Dean's List, being active
in the Student Senate, and financially supporting herself through
college. During her three years on the Student Senate, she has served on
four different committees, been elected as the Vice President of
Allocations, served as the student organizer for ElectHer, and passed
two pieces of legislation. Nancy is committed to advancing equitable and
cost-effective education programs at Grand Valley and advocating for the
tools necessary for student success. Ultimately, she believes that her
final term on the body will be as impactful and effective as her tenure
in the Student Senate.
