鈥淓ven though all of my term has been spent in the virtual environment,鈥� she said, 鈥淚 focused on bringing a renewed energy to the organization and brought a fresh approach to student and alumni leadership.鈥�

In addition to strengthening the student membership of the Order, Williams worked with the current leadership to form the foundation for a mentorship program involving young alumni as mentors to students.

As an honors college member, Williams served as an honors ambassador and peer mentor. She also traveled to the Dominican Republic in 2018 on a public health internship.

As a peer mentor, Williams refocused the curriculum on material that would best support incoming freshmen. She introduced topics related to personal finance and professional development.

She competed in USF鈥檚 annual Elevator Competition as a freshman and earned second place out of 200 students.

Senatus serves as a 国产短视频Student Government senator for the Muma College of Business, working on the Senate Policy Committee, Activity and Service Fee Recommendation Committee, Finance Committee and the Grants Committee.  She encourages students to continue paying their service forward to the 国产短视频community.

She served as the Tampa deputy financial officer for Student Government鈥檚 first consolidated term as part of OneUSF.  She also served on the Campus Allocation Funding Committee, which allocated more than $18 million Activity and Service Fee dollars to registered student organizations, student success departments and funding council committees.

鈥淭hrough my work with the Senate,鈥� she said, 鈥淚 have learned the importance of working with others 鈥� despite not seeing eye-to-eye on issues 鈥� and the value of fairness and impartiality along with the joy of supporting the values I hold close to my heart.鈥�

A resident of the invitation-only Bulls Business Community and part of the Business Honors Program, Senatus has worked on service projects for Habitat for Humanity. As a child, Habitat for Humanity extended its helping hand to her own family and she repays the organization by helping create welcome home gifts for families.
