Experience
January 6th, 2022 –
Resident Advisor | Resident Education and Development | University of Cincinnati

As a Resident Advisor, I oversaw 30+ students and acted as a confidant on a live-in, practically-
24/7 basis. My community is not a traditional residence hall; it is divided into twenty-one buildings
in a neighborhood-style complex. As an RA, I am responsible for the residents living in my
building, but during weekly duty nights, I am on-call for the larger community. My duties include
making maintenance requests, reporting incidents, handling personal crises for residents,
resolving conflicts between them, planning events, holding meetings, performing room
inspections, and more. I am the resident advisor of the Audre Lorde house / learning community,
a living-learning community for residents who have an interest in social justice. It has come to be
a residence hall for members of minority communities due to its co-ed style of living.

Volunteer Experience
Political Volunteer

I started off as a phonebanker, meaning I made calls to constituents and encouraged them to
vote, and then I began going door-to-door as a canvasser. In the recent election, I took up
textbanking, sending messages to voters all around the country to either assist them in making a
plan to vote, remind them of upcoming deadlines, or engage them in conversations about which
candidate they were voting for (and persuade them to vote for mine.) During the primaries, I sent
hundreds of text messages a day. I maintained conversations with people from lots of different
walks of life and learned how to navigate sensitive discussions, even if the voter was being
combative. After the presidential election, I still volunteer for candidates across the country.
