Early in my career, I spent about seven years living in Reno, Nevada, which gave me a second place to call home and a lasting appreciation for the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are your main responsibilities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I oversee the Life@MAC programming model, Living Learning Communities, student staff hiring and training, and the supervision of Residence Hall Directors. I approach my work with an intentional focus on student learning and development while bringing energy and fun to the experience. Authenticity is important to me, and I strive to lead in a way that is genuine and relationship-centered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you love most about Mac?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really love the Macalester community. Our students, staff, and faculty bring a remarkable sense of purpose to their work and a deep commitment to the college\u2019s mission, which makes it an inspiring place to be every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your favorite hobby?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My hobbies are as eclectic as my playlists. I can be equally excited about a college football game, the newest musical at the Orpheum, a Marvel movie, a beach vacation, the next book for my book club, or a murder mystery party. I love discovering new interests and meeting new people, so don&#8217;t hesitate to say hello and share&nbsp;your favorite hobbies and passions, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"author":629,"featured_media":3653,"template":"","class_list":["post-3595","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/629"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3595\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4427,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3595\/revisions\/4427"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/residential-life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
