As the Complex Director in the Office of Residence Life at Emory University, I oversee one of the largest residence halls and lead a dedicated team of 31 student staff members. With over six years of experience at this institution, where I graduated with high honors in 2022, I bring a deep understanding of our community’s unique needs and challenges.My professional journey at Emory began with roles focused on Residential Education and event coordination, overseeing event funding and planning. I continue to build on this foundation, having successfully drafted and implemented a proposal to overhaul our residential education engagement strategy, based on comprehensive data and annual reports that I have authored. A significant milestone was leading the Pre-College program as the Student Life Director, where I managed over 400 student attendees and 18 members of student staff. In my current role as Complex Director, I continue this work throughout the academic year.I am fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish, and I maintain my passion for language acquisition through regular conversation hours around campus. My current commitment is to making a meaningful impact within student affairs, but I maintain a goal of continuing my own education. My professional philosophy centers around being personable and approachable, ensuring that students and staff have the support and resources they need to thrive.I am eager to connect with fellow higher education professionals, mentors, and anyone passionate about student development and academic success. Let’s connect and explore opportunities for collaboration and growth!
