Years worked at Covenant This will be my first year!
Hometown Nanjing, China (Orlando, FL)
Local Church I attend New City Fellowship
Covenant College, BA in Community Development with minors in Psychology and Sociology
Best residence life memory from my college days During my junior year, Maclellan/Rymer Hall was scheduled to host our annual Rymer Cup field day event, but it got completely rained out. Some girls on my hall (Halcyon) and guys on our brother hall (Lawrence) played soccer, barefoot, in the rain for a good 2-3 hours. Epic.
Favorite way to spend a Saturday: Wake up early and naturally with sunlight streaming in from the window and the smell of coffee in the air. Freshen up, eat breakfast (fresh fruit, granola, and vanilla yogurt), and sip coffee leisurely while doing my quiet time. Spend the day with friends adventuring and exploring somewhere I haven't been before. Come home, take a nap, read a book, drink some tea...cook a good dinner, share it with someone, have some thoughtful conversations...crawl into bed exhausted, but content.
Three words to describe life in Carter Hall Enduring, Enchanting, and...Boisterous
Best thing about my job Building relationships and cultivating community for the furtherance of God's kingdom!

Major Elementary Education
Hometown McAllen, TX
Favorite class taken at Covenant Developmental Psychology. It has been such an eye opening class. We have delved into the minds of not only developing children, but also why our culture as a whole is the way it is. It’s given me a better understanding of why I am the way I am and has challenged me to work to do what I can to make the world a better place for future generations.
What the residents on my hall can expect Open doors and friendships with hall mates who will laugh, cry and grow together – a year full of fun, learning and scripture.
What I'm all about Laughing, smiling, Gerber daisies, reading, drinking coffee, growing, developing relationships, dancing, sunshine, and walking barefoot on the beach.

Favorite class taken at Covenant Developmental Psychology has been my favorite class at Covenant. It was so interesting and I learned a lot of practical information that has been beneficial in understanding myself and the people in my life.
What the residents on my hall can expect The residents on my hall can expect to find a place where fun, fellowship, and support can be found. It’s somewhere they can identify with as they get to know and become a part of the hall community.
What I'm all about I’m an elementary education major here at Covenant and I love working with children. My family and friends mean so much to me. My relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing in my life. I’m extremely excited to serve as RA of 3rd South.

Major Community Development
Hometown Knoxville, TN
Favorite class taken at Covenant and why Theory of Community Development with Dr. Fikkert and Professor Corbett. That class rocked my world. The professors present the reality of poverty with great gravity without forsaking the hope and reconciliation that is found in Christ. Every day in the class I found myself convicted, thinking about new things, and feeling more deeply. Ultimately, it has helped me understand Jesus’ heart for the poor and has cultivated within me a heart of sensitivity and heightened desire for the coming of the kingdom. Take it.
What the residents on my hall can expect Open doors, lots of tea, long talks late into the night, shared lives. Girls on 4C should expect to laugh often and not be afraid to cry when necessary. Hopefully many good times are ahead!
What I'm all about I’m all about long talks over a cup of tea (or coffee if that’s your thing.) Listening to someone’s life story is literally my favorite thing to do. Other things I enjoy include: playing games (mafia, family, four on a couch), baking (usually out of a box), watching movies on a whim, laying on the lawn in the sunshine, playing guitar and singing along, the top 40 (I like catchy music…don’t judge me), rainy days, reading books that make me think and feel, writing, traveling, learning about other cultures. Basically, I really love getting to know people!

Major English major, Education minor
Hometown Macon, GA
Favorite class taken at Covenant Practicum in Teaching Writing. Writing is one of my passions and this class just opened my eyes to the complexity of communication. And Professor Huffines is an awesome teacher. We spend half of the class laughing.
What the residents on my hall can expect Fourth South is a close-knit community. We love dance parties, and having long conversations in the hallway. Our doors are always open and we love to share our lives with each other.
What I'm all about My two passions are writing and people. So I love a good story. I drink huge amounts of tea and coffee. I love flowers (especially daisies), sunshine, folk music, and trees. I want to be authentic in who I am, but my hope is that my true identity is completely in Christ and so He is what people will see in me.

Major Interdisciplinary Studies
Hometown Orange Park, FL
Favorite class taken at Covenant Popular Culture with Dr. Trimiew. Pop Culture is a night class so it was laid back. We watched MTV and discussed music, movies, sports, fashion, and oodles more and how we can integrate them into our Christian worldview.
What the residents on my hall can expect Any and everything. 3C is known for being “heard before seen” and we take that to heart! Girls can expect laughing, singing, and dancing daily. You can expect to make new friends, engage in meaningful, heartfelt conversations, and have a rollicking good time. I want 3C to be known as a community of women who are fun, outgoing, and love the Lord and seek to grow in Him.
What I'm all about Wow! Get ready, here we go… sunshine, bright blowers, the outdoors, the beach, and coloring. I love being silly and causing mischief (the good kind!). I love Dave Matthews Band and Coldplay. You’ve Got Mail and Anchorman. I love laughing and good conversation with friends. All of these things are rooted in my love for the Lord and finding beauty in his creation.

Major Psychology
Hometown Chattanooga, TN
Favorite class taken at Covenant Doctrine with Dr. Kapic. He is so passionate about the Lord and about teaching students more about Him. It has humbled, grown, stretched, and challenged me more than any other class in my life.
What the residents on my hall can expect The girls on my hall can expect to grow, whether it be emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, or preferably all three. I desire to create an environment in which girls can feel safe, loved, and accepted, but also a place where they are pushed to become more like Christ in all that they do. Come ready to savor and experience the beautiful privilege of Christ-centered sisterhood.
What I'm all about I’m all about relationships. I love to hear people’s stories and get to know what their passions are. I have a pretty outgoing personality, so I love trying new things, exploring new territory, and having a great time. I have a heart for walking with people and being in relationships that provide mutual edification. I love a good book, some time to play my guitar, a great cup of coffee, awesome conversation, and working out.

Major Theatre & Sociology
Hometown Wendell, NC
Favorite class taken at Covenant Dramatic Art and Christian Thought. I loved this class because we studied and discussed how as Christians we are called to interact in secular theatre and live in the world.
What the residents on my hall can expect To grow and be challenged and loved by the other girls on the hall. And to have lots of fun!
What I'm all about Jesus! Developing meaningful relationships, having fun, sunny days, playing basketball, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, the beach, sleeping in, and going on hikes.

Major Economics and Education
Hometown Zeelend, MI
Favorite class taken at Covenant and why CDV 210 (Theory of Community Development). This class opened my eyes to our role with the church in the fallen world. It has given me practical ways to serve Christ in everything I do, and has shown me the importance of helping the poor. Through this class I have seen the work of Christ clearer than ever.
What the residents on my hall can expect A group of men who are encouraged to be living together in unity, growing together in the Word, and challenging each other every day. One can expect plenty of late night, spontaneous, and crazy activities while reserving a respect for the academic life. Christ will be the focus in everything, especially in the relationships that form over the year. I expect to enjoy seeing God’s grace in other people. Good conversations should certainly be expected.
What I'm all about I am a people person. I love investing myself in other people. I enjoy seeing God through nature—I guess you could call me an outdoorsy kind of guy. I enjoy sports of all kinds and any form of crazy physical activity. I am also an adrenaline junky—although an explanation of this can only be understood by living around me.

Major Engineering
Hometown Dallas, TX
Favorite class taken at Covenant Physics for Scientists and Engineers, because it has helped me to see how mathematics can be used to solve real world problems. Also, we get to use clickers and argue about which answer is right.
What the residents on my hall can expect A community of Christian brothers who genuinely seek to grow as students, disciples, and members of the Covenant community.
What I'm all about Texas, sports, and fun, baby!

Major Business
Hometown Satellite Beach, FL
Favorite class taken at Covenant Principles of Management with Dr. Quatro. He makes the class fun and exciting, and students always engage in the class discussion. Dr. Quatro does a great job of teaching us how good management principles directly correlate with Christian values.
What the residents on my hall can expect The residents of Ghetto should expect to have a great experience through the brotherhood, traditions, and close-knit community we will share on the hall. They should also expect to make loyal friends who will challenge them in their walk with the Lord throughout the year.
What I'm all about Jesus, sports, hanging out with friends, playing FIFA, spontaneous dance parties, spikeball, quoting funny movies, hall community, and Covenant College in general.
