  I supervised a floor of approximately 50 residents and organized events for a diverse group of students of many ages and interests.

To achieve these goals, I planned and attended weekly floor events, maintained a strong, open presence in my floor community, and enforced college policy when situations arose. Additionally, I worked closely with a team of 10-15 other RAs to plan campus-wide events, serve on campus-wide committees, and serve as a mentor for younger staff members. Show less
