What do you enjoy most about being a hall director? I love seeing my residents in their natural surroundings. Seeing them come in after class, after a night out with friends or just simply getting a snack from the vending machine. It warms my heart to know my residents are happy.
What kind of community vibe do you hope to create in your building(s)? I don’t run a hotel. Part of adulthood is learning how to engage with people and set boundaries so in NSL, we will be a community that talks to eachother and interact like adults while enjoying life
