Kenzy Soror

For At-Large Senator

“I raise up my voice — not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.”

-Malala Yousafzai

Kenzy Soror (she/her) is a 3B Double Degree student pursuing Computer Science at the University of Waterloo and Business Administration at Wilfrid Laurier University, and has proudly called Kitchener-Waterloo home since she could walk.

Guided by commitment, curiosity, and community-rooted empathy, Kenzy brings a lifelong passion for advocacy, student voice, and equitable governance to the fight for real change. She believes that every student deserves not just to be represented, but to be heard, included, and empowered to shape the systems that impact their lives.

Advocacy anchors everything Kenzy stands for. For the past two years, she has served on the WUSA Advocacy Positions Committee, where she’s been dedicated to identifying key student-impacting issues. Whether the topic is student mental health, international tuition, or the accessibility of co-op education, Kenzy has pushed for change grounded in research, empathy, and a deep understanding of the student experience.

Before arriving at UW, Kenzy was twice elected as the Student Trustee for the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB), representing over 64,000 students at the Board table. She became a leading voice for equitable representation and transparent decision-making, spearheading reforms that fundamentally reshaped student inclusion in governance. She founded several landmark initiatives — including Now You Know, a web series spotlighting students and their stories; #ALLEARSKW, a reporting tool for student concerns; and the WRDSB Student Roundtable, opening Board dialogue to every secondary student in the region. Her work delivered WRDSB’s first-ever board-wide Student Trustee election — a structural reform that continues to empower student voice to this day.

Kenzy’s advocacy reaches beyond school boards and campus walls. Through Capacity Canada’s “Gen Z on Boards” program, she trained in modern non-profit governance, deepening her understanding of how strong boards translate values and community needs into concrete policy and action. Through Engineers Without Borders, she has actively contributed to projects advancing clean energy, global education, and equity-driven innovation across continents, bridging technical solutions with policy advocacy for sustainable impact.

In the At-Large Senator seat, Kenzy will fight to make academic decisions transparent, inclusive, and truly student-led. She envisions a Senate that doesn’t wait for students to knock, but instead opens its doors, invites them in, and amplifies every voice until real change follows. Her years of experience in governance, record of tangible results, and unshakable belief in the power of empathy make her ready to lead that change.

When not working to build systems that listen, Kenzy can be found pouring over books that stir the soul, teaching herself new musical instruments, or convincing anyone who will listen to watch her latest cinematic discovery (recommendations are always welcome!).
