- Major: Intercultural Studies
- Favorite Res Life Memory: One of my favorite Res Life memories was learning how to use the fire extinguisher. Enough said about that.
- What I’m all about: I love pretty much anything that has to do with music and my friends. Also, the Lord has placed an interest in me to help with the widespread issue of human trafficking and I am learning what I can about the issue while seeking God's plan for each step I take.
- What the residents of my building can expect this year: The RAs can expect to be spending some one-on-one time with me as well as having lots of fun serving the student body alongside one another. This year is going to be awesome!

- What the residents of my building can expect this year: My residents can expect to have a lot of Ayers 1 pride! I plan on making an Ayers 1 Facebook page with frequent updates on Res-Life organized events, Union sports events, Sac events and more so we can go and get to know each other better. They can also expect me to ask them on lunch, dinner or coffee dates in hopes of intentionally investing in their spiritual lives. Through this opportunity, I am excited to learn from and hopefully become friends with the many wonderful women who will be in my building. But ultimately, get ready to be silly, have fun and learn more about yourself this upcoming year in Ayers 1!

- Major: Nursing
- Favorite Res Life Memory: My favorite residence life memory would have to be drenching my RA with five buckets of water to celebrate my Thai holiday and entering into a week-long water fight between her room and mine!

Growing up in Thailand was an experience that I would not change for the world and cannot wait for the day when I can return.

- What the residents of my building can expect this year: To never feel alone, and always know that they have someone to talk to and somewhere to go. It is my hope to create a fun, welcoming, and friendly environment where they can feel at home away from home.
