I relocated the program to the main library, which caused nightly usage numbers to double. As Health and Wellness Policy Director, I managed four agencies (Campus Safety, Longhorn EMS, Longhorn Run, and SURE Walk), their directors, and members. I co-founded a safe ride system called Safe Ride that had over 5000 registered riders. Safe Ride provides free rides home to students from downtowns on Thursday - Saturday nights. I sat on several University committees, including the GigU Search Committee. I served as one of two student voices in the appeal to Google to bring Google Fiber to campus neighborhoods.
