ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Gio
WHERE I COME FROM
I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon and love the Pacific Northwest! I enjoy learning about cities and urban planning, following politics, hiking, and hanging out with friends.
​
My passion for advocating and representing my community predates my time at Willamette. In high school, I was on student government and President of my school's chapter of National Honor Society.
​
Fast forward several years and I am a third-year, double majoring in Politics, Policy, Law, & Ethics and Economics—as well as the first in my family to attend college. Outside of academics, I am an ASWU Senator for the Class of 2022, a student representative on the College of Arts and Sciences Academic Council, a Resident Advisor, and a legislative intern for the Oregon Senate Majority Leader, Rob Wagner.

MY VALUES
As ASWU President, I will draw on my experience and will be guided by values of equity, inclusivity, communication, and transparency. I will carry out the duties of the ASWU Presidency in a manner that is transparent and takes into account issues of equity. I will communicate with the student body regularly about the work I am doing and seek input from all students. (Check out my 'Priorities' webpage to learn more!)
