I am a liaison between the Resident Director and the Resident Advisors on my staff. I am a resource for the new RA's and helped to make the new job easier for them. I also, oversee RA's on duty and respond to emergency situations.

I worked with new students and families during orientation and provided them with an experience that made them want to come to George Mason University. I facilitated small groups and helped to make orientation run smoothly.

I helped to get advertisers for our three media outlets on campus. I called and emailed various businesses about advertising with us. I also took ads and learned how to use the Ad-taker system.

I worked in the retail shops at the water park. I handled the cash register, restocked the floor, and took inventory.
