Hi everyone! My name is Elis and I’m a nursing major, artist, and your SGA President! Outside of school and SGA, I love writing, reading, and expressing myself creatively, and I’m always looking for new ways to connect with the people around me. I’m so excited to bring my passion, creativity, and dedication to student leadership this year! 💙✨

I am excited to fulfill my position in student government, and I aim to make positive contributions to the OCC community that welcomed me so graciously a year ago.
