Candidate Biographies

Presidential Candidate: Peyton Hull 

My journey at Mt. Hood Community College began when I first enrolled to pursue an Associate of Applied Sciences in Integrated Media-Video. Since then, I have returned to obtain a Theatre Transfer Degree. My passion for the arts drives me, and I am committed to giving back to our community. Outside of my studies, I am an animal lover, a food enthusiast, and yes—a fan of energy drinks.

Over the years, I have held various leadership roles, including Marketing Representative on the Thespian Board, Soprano Representative on the Sam Barlow Choir Council, and Senior Representative on the Sam Barlow Speech and Debate Council. Currently, I serve as Campus Affairs Representative for the Associated Students of MHCC and work as Mt. Hood Community College’s Brand Ambassador.

At MHCC, we are a community that values every individual—regardless of background, culture, gender, identity, or beliefs. Our college is a place of inclusion, where each student’s unique self is celebrated. I am dedicated to fostering an environment free from discrimination, where everyone feels welcome and valued. Once a Saint, always a Saint.

As a theatre and film major, I understand the power of storytelling, and I want to support you in crafting your own story here at MHCC. I am running for Student Body President because I believe in the transformative power of community and collaboration. Together, we can create a campus where every student feels a strong sense of belonging, where talents are nurtured, and where success is within reach for all.

My Goals:

• Amplifying Student Voices: Your voice matters, and I’m here to listen.
• Creating a Vibrant Campus Life: Building a healthy balance between academics and activities.
• Crafting a Welcoming Environment: Celebrating diversity and fostering inclusion.
• Supporting Academic Success for All: Providing resources and support for your success.
• Paving the Path to Graduation: Ensuring every student reaches the finish line.

Together, we can create a brighter future for our campus. This journey isn’t one we can take alone; we need each other. I look forward to working alongside each of you to make MHCC a place where everyone feels proud to belong.

Presidential Candidate: Isaias Figuerora

My name is Isaias Figueroa, and I am thrilled to announce my candidacy for ASMHCC Student Body President for the 2024-2025 academic year.

If elected, I will bring my experience in public speaking, meeting facilitation, and agenda planning—skills that will enable me to lead the Associated Student Body effectively and ensure that the voices of MHCC students are fully represented.

As president, I am especially committed to amplifying the unique perspectives of international, nontraditional, and students of color. I believe the future of MHCC is shaped by empowering those who may often go unseen, and I am dedicated to providing them with the platform and recognition they deserve.

Thank you for your support as we work together to build an inclusive and thriving campus community.

Presidential Candidate: Christopher Tronolone

I am running for President of the ASMHCC Executive Team because I am passionate about building a campus environment where every student feels supported, heard, and empowered. My experience as President of Oxford House and as a student at MHCC has equipped me with the skills to lead and effectively represent our diverse student body.

MHCC has provided me with incredible opportunities, and I am committed to giving back by advocating for you. As your ASMHCC President, I will work to:

• Amplify Student Voices: Every opinion matters. I will ensure that each student is heard and has a chance to shape the decisions that impact our campus.
• Promote Inclusivity and Diversity: I am dedicated to creating a campus that celebrates our differences through cultural events and leadership opportunities, making everyone feel welcome and represented.
• Improve Student Services: I will prioritize access to essential resources, from academic support to mental health services, to ensure every student has the tools needed for success, both in and out of the classroom.
• Increase Campus Engagement: I believe a strong community is built on participation. I will foster a sense of belonging by encouraging greater student involvement in clubs, events, and leadership roles.
• Advocate for Affordability: Understanding the financial challenges students face, I will support initiatives like textbook assistance programs and expanded financial aid options to make college more affordable.
• Promote Resource Awareness: MHCC offers a wealth of resources to support students’ academic and career goals. I will work to raise awareness so all students can fully utilize these opportunities.

I believe in the power of student leadership and collaboration to drive meaningful change. With your vote, we can work together to enhance the MHCC experience for all students. Let’s create a campus where every voice is heard and every student thrives.
