Why did you become an RA?: I was inspired by my freshman year RA. She helped me adjust to living on campus and being in college.

What is your favorite thing about being an RA?: I love being surrounding with a staff of people who are hardworking, great leaders, and all around amazing people. They make me want to be better and do better. I also love when my residents want to hang out and do things with me and together as a floor.

Piece of advice for other RA’s: What you put into the RA job is what you get out of the job. If you want to put a lot of work in, you will find the job much more rewarding.

Any extra Reslife Involvement?: Was the ARA representative for my complex last year. Attendance to LIT meetings and events. I attend RHA events when they fit into my schedule.
