Why did you choose Residential Life? I had an awesome experience as a first year student in my residence hall.  Because of that, I became aware of the leadership opportunities that exist in Res Life. Who knew you could have this much fun at work?
What do you love about Brockport? Brockport is the perfect size and mold for an ideal college experience.
What's the best part of your job? Working with students!  They're amazing!
What's the best thing about your building? All the people!!!
What do you do for fun? I love to travel!  I'm an expert road-tripper
Any advice for students? Your roommates now are your co-workers/bosses/employees/spouses of the future.  Learning now to initiate face to face conversations and expressing your feelings will save you a lot of time later on in life.
