What do you love about Brockport?

I knew I wanted to become a student at Brockport my sophomore year in high school. I like Brockport’s geographical location, its unique culture and how the campus enables its students, professionals and visitors to appreciate higher education and helping to build the future.  I also like that Brockport has a little of everything and that students have a real chance to get involved in a variety of activities that they enjoy and activities that challenge them. It was easy for me to find my niche at The College as a student and a professional. There are unlimited chances to grow personally and professionally.

What's the best part of your job?

I enjoy getting to know the residents and enabling people to grow in a healthy, happy and harmonious environment.  Being a Resident Director is a very unique position that allows me to help students develop and find opportunities for involvement on campus. It also makes me happy to help people and to make a difference in peoples’ lives. I truly enjoy being a Resident Director and being available to students.
