my passion is academic success and personal development for professional staff, student staff, and students.

Engagement: wanting to focus in on that this year. Engagement with staff and residents as the vehicle to learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Currently, I practice my passions through roommate mediations, RA coaching conversations, RA accountability, and conduct meetings.

Helping students, student staff, and UCI guests understand the importance of asking better questions and understanding the magic of everyone's individual stories.

# data[].attributes.body
I value safety and engagement personally and those two are directly mentioned in the mission of our department.

My passions lie in serving and supporting students during their time at UCI and in Student Housing. I am particularly dedicated to providing opportunities for students to gain experiences, knowledge, perspectives, and worldviews. Student Housing, with its unique community-based living environment, is a special space that is not often found outside of Higher Education. I appreciate this distinctiveness and the privileged place we have in a student's journey.

# data[].attributes.body
My passions & Personal values are around care and personal development. In my work, the moments where I have seen a true impact is when I have one on one conversations with students and staff while having difficult conversations and providing intentional support. I'm also passionate about creating a safe environment. This can look like a duty response or even confrontations around student safety. Being able to talk with students in a way that is educational and supportive. another value is supporting students in the midst of transition points. Its how students are supported that will have the most impact on their own ability to navigate changes.

My goal this year is focused on academic success for student staff. I will meet this goal by (if approved) participating in the Selection Committee and having a more active role in conversations centered around the RA position description.

ALL, duty, pro staff training, sponsor/theme development, resident support, ICA involvement, SAA involvement, and using my pro devo to keep me sharp :-)

I strive to continue to grow, learn, and refine my practice to better support students and create a more inclusive environment for students. Engage in reflection conversations with colleagues. Share resources and knowledge. Have fun!

I aim to conduct the gender-inclusive housing program evaluation, focusing on inclusion.

Thrive and connect is my personal mission

# data[].attributes.body
One of my personal values is respect. I always try to respect where people are coming from, their passions, their struggles, their feelings, etc. I think part of respect requires learning about others and building connections so that you can learn about other’s stories.

# data[].attributes.body
In my first year as an RLC my focus has greatly been on learning the ropes and navigating Sierra (and its pitfalls). Sierra felt like a huge success (granted no formal assessment was made), I frequently saw students who were complete strangers to one another grow into great friends. Sierrans were invested in their community’s wellbeing. This year I want to expand on this and challenge this community to showcase their learning to the rest of MC.

# data[].attributes.body
I regularly check in with my RAs and build relationships with them where we can discuss things in and out of the role. The feedback I have received is that checking in on them from a holistic approach has been beneficial in helping them take care of themselves so that they can in turn take care of the residents and broader community.

# data[].attributes.body
Even outside of my professional role, in my personal life I am very driven by social justice and having a lifestyle/state of mind that supports continuous learning and community building. I see UHRL’s mission, vision and values aligning with mine in many ways. One being that an engaged student is often defined by their relations to others and community and that we should encourage these connections.

# data[].attributes.body
I passion focuses on the holistic development of each student, recognizing that education extends beyond academics. My approach focuses on coaching students through their social, emotional, and ethical development while also fostering creativity, encouraging the exploration of opportunities, and prioritizing their overall well-being. I achieve this by having meaningful conversations, offering personalized coaching, and building strong relationships with my students. I want them to grow into well-rounded individuals.

# data[].attributes.body
Safety: Focusing on training for duty so that RAs feel well prepared to address issues in the community and/or know what resources and support are out there. Create resources that can be added to duty bags for reoccurring issues.

# data[].attributes.body
I want residents and RAs to say that their experience within housing was transformational and guides them in their future work/relationships. I believe in taking advantage of every opportunity that is awarded to you. (professional and personal development)

# data[].attributes.body
I have supported and advance student housing mission/vision & values through my supervision of students. Also, through the accountability conversations and conduct meetings, my hope is that students develop the skills needed to be successful in living in student housing and finding a place where they can thrive and be.

# data[].attributes.body
Being more present with residents outside of the housing office. Hosting office hours in the Mesa Towers and attending more RA programs.

# data[].attributes.body
Engagement, I think that with fewer buildings to supervise, I will be able to have a lot more connection points with my buildings. I hope to use this opportunity to flesh out the Sierra Programmer.

Theme housing, duty, ALL, training, one-on-one meetings, team discussions, and ongoing conversations with students. In addition, I actively seek and implement feedback from students, using their insights to identify areas for improvement and to advance our collective goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Being present within the Middle Earth Housing community. Showing up in the office, keeping my door open, asking, knowing and remembering people's names.

Integrity, inclusion, and wellness are personal values of mine that are mirrored in the MVV. It’s important to me to be authentic in my work, and to help my colleagues and the people we serve feel included, safe, and supported

# data[].attributes.body
I’m new here, so I can’t quite say I’ve advanced the MVV in my experience here so far. However, in the past I have created programs and events that have provided spaces for students of underrepresented identities to feel a sense of belonging. I have also created programs that promoted student wellness and gave visibility to various campus partners/resources.

# data[].attributes.body
I plan to advance the MVV by making connections with campus partners in order to personally connect students whenever possible. My goal is to also provide a environment where RAs feel included and where I can support their overall wellness. I can do this by ensuring that I inquire about their wellbeing and their experience on the team at each of our 1:1s.

# data[].attributes.body
Goal is to expand on my efforts for theme housing. Now that I have the experience and knowledge of UCI, I want more opportunities for engagement and programs in AV.

# data[].attributes.body
My goal this year is to share more resources for professional and personal development to our residents, RAs, and RLC peers (articles, conferences, training institutes, etc.). And embrace technology with RA training for mid-year hires (use educational tech software to ease the transition for mid-year hires)
