How long have you been a RD? This is my seventh year. I spent 5 years in Laguna and 1 year with the VESPA program/various other tasks. Now I am beginning my time in VC.
What building do you call your home? The wonderful Vanguard Centre.
What are some of your hobbies? Reading, playing games, hanging out with my husband, Geoff, and son, Ryan, knitting (although I haven’t done it in a while)
What is your favorite part about being in the RD role on a campus like VU’s? There are days when I have a group of students that I am hanging out with, laughing or getting deep into their lives, basically just living life with them and having fun and I feel like I am slacking and should get back to work and then I realize- I AM DOING MY JOB! In fact, that is the main idea for my job is being able to invest in others. In those moments I realize I have one of the best jobs on the planet.
Favorite verse? Although I don't have a favorite, I do have a bunch that I love. One is the last sentence in John that talks about the whole world being filled with the volumes of the work of Jesus if they were all written. Such a cool picture of how much Jesus did.
