About Mason: Although I’ve spent most of my life in New Jersey, I attended Northern Arizona University from 2007 to 2011 and worked in Residence Life for three years. After spending the following year as a Graduate Hall Director at Rutgers University, I took time for reflection in order to decide on the next step in my career - which ultimately led to me returning to NAU, the place where it all began. I’m very excited to be working in Taylor Hall and to once again be a part of the amazing community here at Northern Arizona University.

 

Taylor Resident Assistants

Name: Jesse Snively
Floor: First floor
Major: Music
Hometown: Juneau, Alaska

Why I chose Northern Arizona University: It’s far enough from home that I feel independent, but still close enough that I can go back home for a weekend. It’s big enough to give me the opportunities of a large university, but still small enough that all the teachers all know me by name, and take the time for individual students. I also love the weather here, snow and all!

Why I'm excited for this year: I’m excited to be an RA, because I get to be part of making the on-campus experience the best it can be. I get to interact and build relationships with the residents to help create a closer community.

Name: Nicholas Camacho
Floor: Second floor
Major: Psychology & Sociology
Hometown: Mesa, AZ

Why I chose Northern Arizona University: I chose NAU because it is a nice and friendly environment for everyone. It's real easy to meet new people and everyone is really helpful. Also it's nice to experience all four of the seasons instead of just two! Not only that, but it isn't that expensive, it isn't too far from home, so I still get the freedom of being on my own, and it has a really great Psychology program!

Why I'm excited to be an RA: I'm excited to meet all my new residents and create strong bonds with them just like my RA's have in the past. Plus I get to do one of my favorite things, which is be able to help people and give them the assistance they need. With the RA position I will be able do this.

Name: Isaac Hurguy

Why I chose Northern Arizona University: I chose NAU because I love the outdoors and I really felt a connection to the campus when I came to visit. It is a great place to be outdoors and meet new people. I love to hike and snowboard, both things that are available at NAU.

Why I'm excited to be an RA: I am excited to be an RA because I love getting to talk with and meet new people. I am excited to be a part of the Taylor Hall community and getting to help people enjoy their college experience.
