Hello! I’m a life-long Massachusetts resident. I completed my undergraduate degree at the state’s flagship University, UMass Amherst. I loved my college experience – so much so that I pursued my Master’s degree at Suffolk University, concentrating on Higher Education Administration. I worked in a career services office, but realized that the day-to-day issues that students face in campus living was far more interesting than looking at resumes every day.  That realization led me to BU, where I’ve played a role in 4 of the 6 BU neighborhoods! In my spare time, I enjoy exploring various neighborhoods around Boston, either by foot or on the T. I love to travel and my three favorite cities to visit are NYC,  Paris, and Perth, Australia. In college, I was a DJ (carting around my vinyl in milk crates…) and listening to music is still one of my favorite pastimes. My genres of choice are varied – from yacht rock to metal to opera. If you have a new band to share, let me know – it’s so much easier now with instant gratification, but I do sort of miss digging through the stacks at a record store.

My name Aysia Thomas and I am originally from Boston (Roxbury), MA. Through my undergraduate experience at the University of New Hampshire I managed to receive a B.A in communication and a minor in kinesiology.  I developed a passion for student affair services and creating . The rewards of this work propelled me to enroll in a master’s degree program at the University of Rhode Island. I am excited to be back home in Boston where I can live out my dream of being part of the BU community and explore the city!!

Years ago, I joined Boston University’s Residence Life team as a Resident Assistant in Warren Towers. After two exciting years as an RA without Ethernet or cable TV, I graduated from the College of Arts & Sciences. After volunteering in East Africa for a number of years doing much more than raising indigenous chicken, I returned to Warren Towers to serve as a Senior RA while completing my Master of Divinity at the School of Theology. I have worked full-time in Residence Life in a number of areas across campus, but I currently enjoy serving the community in 33 Harry Agganis Way. My interests include tinkering with electronics, cross-cultural interactions, spending time with my family, and exploring Boston’s historic nooks and crannies.
