During my time at UMass Amherst, I was a Resident Assistants (RAs) in the Northeast Residential Area. I worked as peer advisor who live and work with undergraduate freshman student residents to assist them in addressing their personal, interpersonal and academic needs within the residence hall and college community. As an RA, I fostered a sense of belonging and build community by getting to know residents, planning and implementing floor/hall activities and programs while maintaining a secure environment by addressing policy violations. I reported to the assistant director and/or senior manager of their respective residence area.
