As Central Coordinator, I would introduce a solid combination of organization and flexibility, abilities acquired through my experience as VP of Marketing at AIESEC. There, I wasn’t only ensuring brand visibility; I was coordinating my team, handling timelines, ensuring synergy, and that we deliver good work. I have also attended many case competitions, which fine-tuned my capacity for thinking strategically on the spot and articulating ideas to numerous groups of people. Additionally, handling complex school projects prepared me to lead groups, meet deadlines, and keep things going even when plans change. I am confident that this combination of hands-on experience and problem-solving would enable me to assist the board efficiently and make significant contributions to the objectives of ACSioN-Concordia.

I believe I am the best candidate for Education Coordinator for the 2025-2026 Concordia chapter because of my dedication and deep connection to ACSioN’s mission. I bring to this role a passion and a vision for creating inclusiveness in a space that supports our unique identities and needs a community. I understand the importance of creating an environment where black students feel seen, supported, and inspired to excel, which was the driving force in creating a club called Colour is Excellence in high school. The goal was to create a space where people of colour can take pride in who they are and who they can become. This club was ultimately started due to the lack of care and recognition of Black students, and I wanted to let those who are new to the school know that they are not alone and there are spaces where they can grow and be seen.
I believe ACSioN has a similar mission. Empowering students of African Diaspora to grow into their fullest potential and have the courage to step into spaces that were not originally built for them in mind.
Being a part of the 2024-2025 chapter as the assistant Education Coordinator helped me create a deeper passion for serving and uplifting the Black community. This application means a lot to me because it is a continuation of my commitment of creating and sustaining spaces for Black students where they are always reminded that excellence lives within them.

Having previously served as Outreach Coordinator for ACSioN, I bring both experience and a deep understanding of the role’s responsibilities and impact. My prior term allowed me to build strong relationships within the Concordia community and beyond, laying the groundwork for continued partnerships and successful events. This familiarity will allow me to reintegrate smoothly, saving valuable onboarding time and enabling me to contribute immediately.
Additionally, my communication skills, organizational habits, and collaborative nature have consistently supported productive teamwork and event execution. I understand the challenges of the role and am ready to meet them with enthusiasm and experience. Rejoining the executive team as Outreach Coordinator would be both a return to a role I’ve loved and a new opportunity to grow ACSioN’s impact with even greater confidence and effectiveness.
