Hi! My name is Sydney, and I am a third year Economics & Communication major. As the Internal Vice President, I am the presiding Chair of the Senate and I also ensure that student based fees are being spent responsibly and in accordance with the ballot language approved by the students.

I got involved because I truly believe in the Association and I honor all of the work that has been done by students on this campus before me. This encourages me to do more and to leave this campus knowing that it is better than it was before I was accepted as a student at UCSB.
