becoming knight hacks vice president

starting in january 2026, i moved into the vice president role at knight hacks. on paper it is just a title change, but in practice it meant owning more of how the org runs and how people experience it when they show up. i originally ran for a couple officer positions the year prior, where I lost after tying and losing in the run off.

i had already spent time as an organizer handling logistics for larger scale events and helping run the club from a minor position, so i understood how things worked at a ground level. that made the transition make sense, since the work was already happening, just at a smaller scope.

making it easier for the team to do good work, keeping things organized, and making sure the community stays open while still being ambitious are what being vp is truly about.

knight hacks had a real impact on how i grew, so this is a chance to shape that experience for other people. student orgs can change how people see themselves if they are run well.
