Why did you choose to work at Rutgers Residence Life?

“I am an advocate of supporting the worth and dignity of each individual where it is critical to respect new ideas and encourage examination and discussion of differing opinions.  It is very important to appreciate and enjoy our rich cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity.  There is a lot around us to appreciate.  I want students and staff to strive for excellence and integrity in living, learning, and social environment where we promote justice and compassion on our campuses in our students and in our communities.”
