Voting will be done online on Monday and Tuesday, April 6 and 7.Candidate- Dallin Jared Leota"My name Is Dallin Jared Leota, I was born in NZ and moved to Australia when I was about 4 yrs old and grew up in Sydney. I was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and love to serve within the Lord's kingdom. I served my mission in New Zealand Wellington Mission between 2008 - 2010 and loved serving the people in those areas. I was sealed to my beautiful wife in the Brisbane temple in 2013 and soon after we had a handsome baby boy in 2014. I love the Lord and pray that we may be instruments in his hands to do his work and achieve his purposes."My vocational leadership positions have been the following: Operations Manager for a Master Franchise company in Australia, then moving on to be a call center manager within the same company. I seized the opportunity to be a Projects Manager for an Electrical Wholesaler where we dealt a lot with major electrical projects for new buildings and estates all around Sydney. In the church I have served as the Young Mens President (and loved serving the young men), A ward mission leader and Stake Mission Preparation adviser. I currently serve now as the 1st Counselor in the Bishopric for the Laie Married Student 3rd Ward with Bishop Michael Murdock. I strive to serve like the Savior and emulate his light through my actions"For behold, this is my work and glory - to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" Moses 1:39. The Lord's purposes should be our purposes. May we strive to bring about God's purposes through our service to him, Harrah for Israel!" Candidate- Kayla Helm"Much Aloha! I am Kayla Helm from the Las Vegas Valley and I am studying Intercultural Peacebuilding and Communications. I know from my time here we have the ability to take part in something great. We have the ability to take part in creating a home, experiences, and an ohana that will be meaningful to us for a long time to come."I learned early on that value of our endeavors are based on the character that is demonstrated both inwardly and outwardly. It is about learning humility, hard work, cooperation, and accountability under pressure. Value comes by sacrifices and leadership comes through courage and integrity. The values I have learned early on I have carried with me into my dealings here. I have learned a lot about the campus and different departments through my time on the Student Advisory Council (SAC) and projects through the McKay Center. I have also been involved with NSO and participated in President Council’s Q & A sessions. My involvement has given me great appreciation and a passion for this school. "A servant leader is one who is committed to bringing the best to the students by bring out the best in everyone. All those involved in this process is what I see as the BYUH community; a community which I love with great devotion. It is my goal to see this very community unified by including, improving, and arising in ways that will leave us walking away from here with qualities, experiences, and relationships we can cherish. There is no better place to strive and thrive then here and now."It is my expectation of myself to move forward with integrity by assuming stewardship for the BYUH community. It is something I pledge to do by striving to maintain a presences on campus through the associations and projects of BYUHSA, class, church, and other school related endeavors. I hold myself accountable to maintaining a diligent effort to develop channels that are conducive to unity through the resources of BYUHSA. We are a place that is to be mindful of the needs of our diverse university through compassion. Let us be the leaders who’s, 'influence will be felt for good,' let us be gold- genuine gold!"Candidate- Nathaniel Breedlove"Aloha, my name is Nathaniel Breedlove. Yep, Breedlove. Just like the verb. And spreading the love is exactly what I plan to do as BYUHSA President."I was privileged to serve a mission in Moscow. While serving, my president suffered from a severe blood clot that resulted in his temporary departure to the U.S. In his absence my companion and I conducted all of the mission’s affairs including a mission-wide training meeting. "Once I moved here to Hawaii, I got a job at American Savings Bank where I was able to meet so many of you. While working as a teller, I later started a cleaning company. This led to my experience removing and stacking over half a million dollars’ worth of granite on the temple here in Laie. "I am positive that my mission experiences and my successes in entrepreneurship have prepared me for this opportunity to serve. As student body president I will represent the students, the school, and the church with the utmost integrity and professionalism"As the ninth of twelfth kids, I get what it's like to come from a big family. Ours here at BYUH is just a little bit bigger, and both have taught me how to work as a team and love others without reserve. "I've lived across the world from Costa Rica to Russia. As I continue my adventure here on the island, I'm excited to be a part of the important work we do."Uploaded April 2, 2015
