Hometown: Simsbury, CT

Degree(s): Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Policy from Colorado College, Master's of Arts in Leadership with a Concentration in Student Affairs in Higher Education (Expected May 2024) 

Favorite location/spot on campus: The vestibule to Taylor Theater!

Why/what do you love about your community? I love working with RAs and students! Supporting East Campus and off-campus students gives me the opportunity to engage with students living in a variety of spaces at a variety of different points in their CC experience (second-, third-, and fourth-year students). I love collaborating with RAs and students to create programs, events, and experiences that are meaningful to them. I love when students drop into my office in Hybl to ask questions, share concerns, and chat. I am always happy to chat about what I can do to support your CC experience, what you're watching on Netflix, or what you are reading!

South Hall & Cascade Park Apartments

Hometown: Manhattan, New York

Degree(s): B.A. in Communication from the State University of New York at Fredonia; M.Ed. in Higher Education and Student Affairs Administration from the State University of New York College at Buffalo

Favorite location/ spot on campus: One of my most beloved places on campus is the Arts & Crafts Studio, located on the lower level of the Worner Campus Center. This studio provides a phenomenal opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to express their creativity and connect with others they may not know.

Why/what do you love about your community: The community of South Hall shares many similarities with my hometown, New York City. It is a melting pot of students from all over the globe, with a wide range of interests. Although there may be times when the high levels of student involvement can make the community chaotic, it is a place where I, and others, can thrive.

Old Town & Western Ridge

Hometown: Orange County, CA

Degrees: B.A. in Art from Westmont College; M.Ed. in Higher Education Leadership from The University of Texas at Austin

Favorite location/spot on campus: My favorite spot on campus is the bean table outside of McGregor Hall or the bleachers right next doors. The view of the mountains and sky is stunning!

Why/what do you love about your community?

I love working with continuing students! Old Town and Western Ridge can be a quieter area, so I have to be creative connecting with my residents. I've had a lot of fun walking around my area with treats to offer the residents when I get a chance (even if there are SO many stairs in the buildings). When I do make those connections, my favorite conversations are exploring the "what's next" as students are considering internships, careers, and graduation. Old Town in particular may be a little haunted, but the ghosts seem friendly to my cats, Juniper, Ember, and me.

I really enjoy working with a mix of freshmen and upperclassmen! The Mathias, Arthur, and Breton area has a variety of LLCs as well, which bring a unique group of students to our area. I love developing relationships with the residents and RAs of my area, and try to create a cozy and welcoming environment where students can feel supported, get connected, and grow.
