I want to become a Resident Advisor so that I can have the opportunity to be a support system and resource for the students of OU. I am interested in helping residents succeed, while working to build an inclusive community in the Residence Halls. I am a recent transfer student, so I am just beginning to find my place at the University. What I have found here is a support system of people who want to see me succeed and have gone above and beyond to help me in every way imaginable. My goal as a Resident Advisor would be to become a similar resource for residents while developing my leadership skills and creating a positive atmosphere.

1. There are many attributes that I have that are much more indicative of my potential than my SAT scores. To begin, I am a dedicated student-athlete who also takes AP classes in all of my core courses. In field hockey, I was a four-year starter, First Team All-Conference for three years, Second Team All-State, and in my senior year I was voted captain by my teammates; to add, I am doing all of this while taking AP classes.

I do know that with whatever I do, I want to work with people. Yes, it is a vague vision, but I find that my strengths lie in my relatable and empathetic nature. I love initiating conversations with people and finding common ground. I believe that this is a significant strength to hold when communicating with alumni, potential donors, or any advocate of higher education. In addition to my people skills, I am an adaptable person. I can react to changes in a given moment, even if they may stray from the initial plan. Despite these changes, I am able to still meet the demands of the primary goal. This trait is crucial to have in the impermanent nature of higher education. Every year, people working in higher education have to discover new ways to reach the masses, how to advertise effectively on a budget, how to get the most diverse pool of applicants, how to get money to fund the institution or the scholarships of students. I want to make higher education more affordable and accessible to the masses.
