I have been blessed with the opportunity the past two years to serve the Monmouth College community by being a residence life staff member. I have many assets that have contributed to the success of Grier Hall recently and would make good use of the opportunity to serve the residents as their HR. I enjoy working with new students at Monmouth College and aiding and encouraging them to become leaders on this campus as well. I have fine-tuned my skills and have become a respected authority within the hall while remaining approachable and friendly.

In my two years as an RA, I have seen two drastically different HRs with different styles of leadership. I have learned good and bad things from each of them.

If I had the opportunity to become an HR, I would ensure that my staff felt comfortable coming to me with anything and able to ask any questions they may have. My first year as an RA, my staff had monthly bonding days and that contributed to the success and cohesiveness of our staff. I believe that an open door policy is necessary for any RA or HR to have and that is one of the only ways it is possible to get to know everyone in the building. One of my personal goals for next year is to become closer to the staff who can help me or the residents in my building. I regret the fact that I have not made more of an effort to get to know the staff in the residence life office and our cleaning lady, Trina. That is something I will be working hard on this semester in order to have better connections to maintain the success of the hall. I have learned so much from the HRs whom I have had the pleasure of working with and I would love to have the opportunity to display the skills I have
