Candidates

President

Ellie Davis - Bio not provided.

Jake Klauber - Hi, I am Jake Klauber, and I am campaigning for the SGA Presidency for the 2023-2024 term. I am currently finishing my second semester of my Biology Major. My educational goal is to get a PhD in Microbiology and my career goal is to start a major Biotech corporation specializing in senescence. I was homeschooled from 6th grade until I joined the Early College Degree Program. I have experience in SGA as the Vice President as well as being a member of PTK. I am running for the SGA Presidency to increase the number of activities on Campus including having two student dances a year.

Joaquin Perez-Duenas - Hello, my name is Joaquin Perez-Duenas. I am a business administration major. I am very involved in the student body, and I am very involved with different clubs. I love having fun and engaging in activities on campus which is why I have helped prepare many events around the school. I am currently running for president of the SGA because I have ideas that can benefit the students to be more involved in campus life. I also have plans to have better communication between different clubs. I believe that with better communication the different clubs on campus will be able to work more efficiently and coordinated for upcoming events. As for campus life I plan for parties, cultural and destress events throughout the year to give students a chance to have a bit of fun while also being on campus. I am very open to student opinions and plan to create a system for student suggestions. I hope I can be given a chance to lead, as I'm here to make a difference.

Vice-President

Rebecca Bergeron - My name is Rebecca Bergeron, and I am running for Vice-President of the SGA for the 2023-2024 school year. During my term, I will be in my second year of HCC in the Environmental Studies program. My end goal for education is to at least earn a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Shepard or the University of Maryland, possibly going to a master’s degree if my life permits. I intend to enter the Maryland Department of Natural Resources through the Conservation Core once I graduate with my bachelor’s. Before I was a college student, I was homeschooled starting in third grade through high school. I learned the importance of independent study. I’ve decided to join SGA because I love being involved with campus activities, and my goal is to give the student body a sense of belonging to their school. I hope to be an approachable presence who can accept and provide good ideas to make life on campus exciting, with a focus on outdoor campus betterment. I believe the key to a strong SGA is strong and open communication, and openly working through any problems that get in the way. I can’t wait to hopefully join everyone for a fun and successful 2023-2024 school year!

Treasurer

Secretary

Ian Voorhees - As the successful group I’m sure we’ll become, we’ll need someone to take record and keep our data in a logical and reachable format. As someone who works with and has studied with appointments settlers for online business, I’m more than positive I can fulfill this role and keep our operations running with smooth efficiency. I await to work along side the other delegates to learn more about how operations at a college level work.

By joining the SGA, I could develop valuable leadership skills, build my resume, and make lasting connections with my peers and faculty members. Additionally, serving as an SGA representative would be a great way to give back to my college and contribute to its ongoing success.
