armon Armon Gonzalez: 
I have had the privilege of serving on the Los Medanos College Associated Students (LMCAS) for nearly three years as a Commissioner of Campus Events as well as a senator. I am now ready to expand my reach as your Student Trustee to advocate for students across the District.  I have experiences in supporting both small and large scale events as a Student Ambassador within Student Life as well as serving as a Campus Police Aid at LMC.  I will serve students across the district as an impartial advocate for all.

I am deeply passionate about serving as your student trustee. I have served in several leadership roles during my time at Los Medanos College including serving as the Commissioner of Publicity and Outreach for the Los Medanos College Associated Students (LMCAS) and as an active leader in clubs. As your student trustee, I commit to prioritize and uphold values of fairness and equity across the district on behalf of students.  Furthermore, I will dedicate my service to working closely with the Governing Board to develop and implement supportive programs that will assist with student success and retention towards graduation.

I am an active member of Los Medanos College serving as a Student Ambassador and mentor of the EOPS Program and utilizing my leadership skills to rebuild the Muslim Student Association where I serve as the President. I have also used my talents to lift up the Muslim community on Social Media. I am seeking to serve as your Student Trustee to bring representation as Muslim woman from Afghanistan, who wears a hijab. I want to demonstrate that students can do anything, if they work towards it. I am determined to put my education towards good use in serving students across the district.
