Position: Vice chair
Statement: 
After three exciting years as secretary, I am excited to continue my commitment to our working group and its future development. Over the past years, the other officers and I have been able to build important foundations and start a series of initiatives that will help the 8.2 community to take the next steps in its exciting journey. As a vice-chair, I am looking forward to further improving our group’s impact and outreach (e.g., expanding our efforts to have 8.2 represented on relevant social media channels) and to intensify and drive our discussion regarding the group’s future focus areas. I am confident that our efforts will not only allow the 8.2 community to remain an important platform for the development of exciting research ideas among its current membership, but will also open the door for future friends and members.
Status: Hopeful
