Why I chose Northern Arizona University: I chose NAU for the HRM program as well as the college feel.

Plus, Flagstaff is beautiful and always sunny.

Why I’m excited to be an RA: I’m excited to be an RA because I love meeting and helping new people. I’ve had a great experience so far as a resident and I want to do the same for others. I love being involved and interacting with new people and I know this will be so much fun.
