>> I got my bachelor's in Mass Communication with the focus on Public Relations.
And my master's is in Education.
The concentration is Higher Education Administration
with the specialization in Student Affairs.
I actually did not like my first two years of undergrad,
but then I became a student leader on campus.
And as a resident advisor it just opened up a different world to me in terms
of there are people here who don't have the same access to resources that I have
or who just needs some additional support to make it through these four years.
And I just fell in love with the role and the position.
And it took me a while to actually realize that that's what I wanted to do.
I planned going more directly to public relations, but instead I took some time off
to discern where my life was headed.
And sitting in a room one day talking to my younger sister
about my residents really encouraged me to go back to school and work on getting a degree in--
my master's in Higher Education Administration.
I just realized that the most fun that I had, the most rewarding experience I had
in undergrad was in serving others.
