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!
