Meet the Staff

Resident Assistants (RAs) are sophomore-level or higher, undergraduate and graduate students who live on-campus. There is at least one RA on every floor of each living center. They contribute to a positive community living experience by serving as a campus resource for first-year students, and by coordinating social and academic activities for residents. RA staff members serve in the HRL duty rotation and are extensively trained in crisis management, facilities management, campus policies/student code of conduct, and student development.

Community Directors (CDs) are professional, live-in staff members. They assist in the daily operations of residential communities. These operations include administrative duties, managing conduct, supervising an RA staff, and providing support to residential students. CD staff members serve in the HRL duty rotation and have experience in crisis management, facilities management, campus policies/student code of conduct, and student development.

I started my adventure at GVSU in 2002 when I arrived as a Freshman. I instantly knew that GVSU was the right place for me. I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I have always had a passion for Housing and Residence life and now I am back where I belong at GVSU. I look forward to building strong, diverse, and inclusive communities on campus.
