"The transition that students make from high school to college is one of the most difficult in a person's life. In the Freshman Experience, we get to play a key role in helping Georgia Tech students grow and evolve as they begin their college career. Our focus is the development of the whole student as they balance the academic, social, and personal challenges a first-year student faces at Georgia Tech. For me, being an integral part of a student's first impression and experience at Georgia Tech is challenging, exciting, and rewarding."

"I come to Georgia Tech with various higher education experiences including work with victims of domestic violence, diversity education, and multi-ethnic student affairs. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the significant impact a good Residence Life professional can make on student success and the college experience. I aim to be that professional! Working in Residence Life at Georgia Tech provides me the opportunity to do just that - help shape the student experience and play a critical role in student success and development."
