In my 3 years working as a Resident Advisor for the IIT Office of Residence Life, I oversaw floors of about 20 residents and worked to foster a safe, supportive, and fun community. Despite their small sizes, my floors were quite diverse, with students of every grade level from freshman to graduate degrees, hailing from countries all around the world. Regular programming and events contributed to the goal of community by emphasizing aspects such as engagement with the student body, academic excellence, mental and physical wellbeing, as well as personal growth. Additionally, I handled more administrative roles with weekly 15.5 hour duty/on-call nights and manning the security/welcome desk in the lobby. Additionally, I supervised 31 front desk student workers during my year as a Senior Resident Advisor. I was responsible for scheduling, onboarding, and accountability processes for my student employees.

To many prospective and incoming students, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is their first and perhaps most important interaction with and impression of Illinois Tech. As a student ambassador, I welcomed students and families during daily visits, tours, our larger Discovery Days, as well as our two largest events, Scholarship Weekend and Preview Weekend. Interviews for prospective freshmen being considered for the University, Camras, Crown, and Duchussois Scholarships take place during scholarship weekend, while Preview Weekend is a valuable opportunity for incoming students to spend a night at IIT. During both of these events and throughout the school year, I hosted students for overnight visits. Additionally, over the summer, I gave tours of the campus, handled paperwork at the office, and organized visits and greeted families at our front desk.
