"I choose to work at Baylor because I am continuously challenged professionally in working with other faculty and staff as part of my community's Living Learning Program, in serving and leading departmental committees, and numerous other ways. I choose to work at Baylor because I am encouraged not only to grow in serving students in Campus Learning & Living, but also in other areas of Student Life, like our New Student Programs Department. Finally, I choose to work at Baylor, because it is a blessing to serve alongside colleagues that are invested in the lives of one another, with the same amount of passion that we devote to investing in the lives of the students of our residence hall communities.
