Anastasia was elected to the Board with the intention of strengthening its relationship between students and associations to secure an accommodating and prosperous environment by delivering open, consistent, and transparent communication. She places a strong importance on ensuring that student supports created during the pandemic are upheld and furthered, to continue assisting students in terms of both financial and mental wellbeing onwards. Her main priorities for the year include transforming mental health resources, holding the Board accountable to the will of the students, ensuring a safe reopening plan, combating discrimination of LGBTQ2+ and racialized students on campus, as well as sexual violence through increased safety measures and resources.
