Q&A Top 5
What is your job?
In every aspect of my job, I look forward to meeting new students and staff, and I spend time figuring out ways to get them involved on campus and within Residence Life. I work with students who are interested in becoming Resident Assistants, or graduate students who are interested in gaining experience in working within our community. I am also responsible for training staff members, organizing our department evaluation process, and planning recognition events for the staff. If you have any interest in learning more about Residence Life, campus, or the general area, be sure to let me know!
What other campus activities are you involved in?
In addition to all of the exciting things in my position, I also enjoy working with first-year students in the Emerging Leaders Program.
What advice do you have for students on how to have a successful college experience?
Make sure that your voice is heard! Take some time to transition to the community, and connect with staff and faculty that can help you make a difference.
What do you like about Case/Cleveland?
The food! I love trying new restaurants, and Case is located in a great place to try new and different foods. Take some time, and you'll find the best restaurants, museums, parks and shops in the area!
What is your favorite quote or motto?
Reality can destroy the dream; why shouldn't the dream destroy reality? — George Moore
