This week’s Campus Celebrity is none other than my RA from last year, Ay’Anna Moody. She’s one of the coolest people I’ve met here at UCLA and definitely one of the most invovled. Balancing RA duties, a heavy course load, and several other activities on campus isn’t a easy task–but she makes it look so effortless! So I decided to catch up with her and ask her a few questions!
Name: Ay’Anna Moody
Major: Political Science/African American Studies
Year: 4th year
Hometown: Oakland, Ca
What is your favorite thing about UCLA?
My favorite thing about UCLA is the opportunity to network with both students and faculty. I have been involved in almost every major entity on campus so UCLA definitely provides you with the agency if you want it. My advice is to get involved!

At UCLA, I am Chief Justice of Judicial Board, Campus Campaign Coordinator for Teach for America, UCLA Students for Education Reform Co-Founder and Co-Chapter Leader, Resident Assistant, Undergraduate Researcher and Bruin Ambassador.

I have been a Resident Assistant for 2 years.
What’s the most rewarding part about being an RA?
The most rewarding part about being a RA is connecting with residents in a meaningful way that often times translates into a friendship. I also love helping New Bruins navigate UCLA.

Do you have any advice that for other students that are interested in getting involved with residential life here on campus?
