How long have you been a Resident Assistant (RA) for?
This is my first year as an RA. I’m the RA for the 4th floor of Mehling Hall which is one of our all-female halls.
Why did you want to become an RA?
I fell in love with the Mehling Community and wanted to be part of it!
What’s your floor tradition?
My floor tradition is BYO nights. One example would be Bring Your Own Bowl for Cereal Night!
What’s one of your favorite parts about Mehling?
I love working with our hall staff. There’s one hall director, two assistant hall directors and then 8 other RAs besides me! I really like when I get to hang out and be on duty with our two assistant hall directors, Lauren and Carly, and Stephanie, another RA!
What do you like to do to relieve stress?
I like to blast music and go for a run.
What are you most looking forward to this year?
I’m excited to break out of my shell more and to learn something new about myself!
