The Sweet Six Team!

In April we had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing a vast selection of candidates for the six Resident Advisor (RA) positions at the Lofts. It was important to us to have RA’s who are good role models of a Knight, who live and understand the honor code, lead where they serve, teach by love, befriend others, and last but not least, know how to have FUN!

We are super excited to introduce to you our SWEET SIX TEAM of Resident Advisors for the Lofts for the 2013-2014 school year!

Meet your HRA's!

Hello!

Dallin & I are super excited to be the Head Resident Advisors (HRA) at the Lofts! We moved in at the beginning of May and are waiting anxiously for the empty rooms to be filled again and the halls and lobbies bustling with wonderful residents making great memories and having good times!

I came to Southern Virginia University from Kelso, Washington in 2009. I graduated in the spring of 2012 with a Liberal Arts degree and the last minor in Early Childhood Education (now they have a teaching program!). I met Dallin my last semester here and we got married August 18, 2012- the best day of my life! In January we became the HRA’s of Robey, one of the boys residence halls. It kept us busy and we enjoyed the boys, but we are super excited to work with girls now! I lived in the Lofts both my freshman and sophomore year and have very fond memories in this building. During my sophomore year I was the Resident Advisor (RA) on the second floor south side. What a great experience! I ran cross country for the 3 years I attended SVU and I was involved in student government and on the student executive council here. It was a blast!  I now work full-time at the Blue Ridge Autism Achievement Center (BRAAC) in Buena Vista. I have always wanted to be a teacher and I love working with the sweet kids at BRAAC. But during the evenings I love having fun with and serving the students at SVU and that is why my husband and I are HRA’s!.

Dallin came to SVU from Temecula, California as a freshman in 2008. He played football for a semester and then left on his mission to Charlotte, North Carolina. He has about two years left until he graduates with his Liberal Arts degree and pre-med focus. Then he plans on going to medical school.

We love to run, bake, and cook together. We cannot wait to get to know you!

Love,

Cassie & Dallin Gould
