I am applying for this position because I can do the job. I am going into my last year here at UIS and have
had a great experience. I started as a transfer student into the Public and Nonprofit Administration
coming from ICC here in Peoria. I have lived in Peoria my whole life and can help UIS grow a presence
here and keep a voice. I intern with the GPEDC and can keep growing new connections here in Peoria.
Peoria is a great place and one that deserves good representation.
