Serving as a reliable resource and advocate, I aim to facilitate a vibrant campus community by spearheading innovative programming and fostering engagement initiatives to address housing needs effectively.
How has your role changed since you began working at East Texas A&M?
When I first joined East Texas A&M, I served as the Community Director for Pride Rock Residence Hall, overseeing approximately 20 student staff members and 200 residents. I have since earned the opportunity to lead both our freshman-only Pride Rock Residence Hall and the upperclassmen-only New Pride Apartments, now directly supervising over 30 student staff members and leading a residential community of approximately 500 residents. These diverse environments have provided me with a broad range of experiences that have strengthened my professional and personal growth, enhancing both my administrative expertise and interpersonal skills.
