CHAPTER 10: I am A Proud Crossover Educator Representing Both Sides of the House

I have been professionally raised and groomed as a student affairs practitioner. I have proudly served as one for the past decade. I was a resident assistant as an undergraduate, started my early professional years in one of the top residential life programs in California, and solidified my professional calling through graduate study in one of the most prestigious higher education and student affairs administration master’s programs in the country. I am a regular presenter at ACPA and NASPA, and find many joys in mentoring interested students and young professionals into this field. I am able to connect with “my tribe,” fellow student affairs practitioners across the United States, through our common language, scholarly foundation, and passion for educating the whole student.
