Why did you become an RA?: To be honest, it was either applying for the RA position or transferring to La Crosse to pursue Physical Therapy. But I’ve always wanted to contribute to the community, wherever I was at.

What is your favorite thing about being an RA?: As stated before I went into the job wanting to make a difference and that is what I love about this job. Whether it be super small or a huge difference.

What else are you involved in?: Right now just my internship which is super fun and helps with my workload.

Piece of advice for other RA’s: This job can be as miserable or as wonderful as you want it to be. Just because things seem to be going in a not so favorable way don’t give up. Press on and enjoy what life has given you.

Any extra Reslife Involvement?: Staff Development Intern 2015-2016. Hoping to go into the field next year.
