Thomas is the longest serving member of CSUN and is currently the only science major running in this election. She has been a senator for 3-and-a-half years and served as Senate president pro tempore. As senator, Thomas helped cultivate the Department of Academic Engagement, which brought attention to and exposed students to research opportunities, research fairs, poster conferences and the Creative Arts Expo.

As associate director of academic engagement, she hosted events for students to learn how to apply for scholarships that are provided by CSUN, grants for undergraduate research, and mentorships with professors.
