As a born and raised Arizona gal I have thoroughly enjoyed building a home in Boston albeit I do miss the heat! Since 2021 I’ve served in residence life as a Graduate Resident Assistant at Boston University and Resident Assistant at the University of Arizona where I received my B.A. in Communication. The opportunity to gain residence life skills through lived experience provides me with a deep commitment to support our community with empathy and positive communication. As a current Masters in Public Health student, I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to connect with BU from the student perspective, shoutout to the 1BU shuttle! When not in office I am likely doing homework, exploring the outdoors, or watching video essays on Youtube. Outside of reslife I have worked in the health sector such as Hospice as well as food pantries (one of my favorite jobs!). It’s been a pleasure to be part of the Upper Bay State Road community from the motivated students to the wonderful staff. As our team says: you are competent and capable, be confident in yourself. Swing by to say hello!

Hello everyone, my name is Greg Aguilar and I am excited to oversee the Towers and Danielsen Communities! I am originally from California where I graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a Bachelors in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. I came out to the East Coast to complete my Masters in Higher Education from Boston College. In my free time you will find me baking, gaming, or walking my Corgi/Elkhound, Moosh (if you see us, feel free to say “hi” – he loves attention!) What I enjoy most about working in Residence Life is seeing the personal growth that happens during these early college years. The person you start off as on your first day of freshman year and the person you will be when you leave these halls with your degree in-hand are so vastly different. It’s amazing to see that transformation take place. If you need anything during your time here at BU, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email or stop by the office at 575 Comm Ave. I look forward to meeting you all, and hope this year is a great one!
