Hi! My name is Amy and I am the Assistant Dean of Students for Residence Life. I manage many of the housing and facilities aspects of Residence Life. I grew up in upstate New York (way upstate near the Canadian border) and went to school at St. Lawrence University where I graduated with a degree in Sociology and Psychology. After graduation, I moved to Delaware and served a year in AmeriCorps working with mentoring programs in public schools. I then earned my Masters in College Counseling from the University of Delaware. I moved to Oregon a few years ago to work at Reed and I am a west-coast convert. I am a recent newlywed and new mother to Pepper - my puppy. In my spare time I like to try new Portland restaurants, attempt to make my own sushi, explore Portland outdoors with the puppy, and drink coffee.

 Hi there! I'm Clea Taylor and I'm the Director of Housing here at Reed. I manage the housing operations and facilities aspects of our department. I graduated from Bennington College, a tiny liberal arts college in Vermont, where I studied Education, Psychology, and Theater. I lived in New York City for several years and then decided to move across the country to make Portland my home. After spending some time working in the Art Department at PSU I decided I needed to get back to a smaller, private college environment and Reed was the perfect fit! I'm thrilled to be working with such amazing students and staff in a city that I love so much.  Some things I enjoy: exploring the outdoors with my dog Cooper, discovering tasty places to eat, browsing bookstores to find something new to read, visiting farmers markets, and cooking with my husband. Feel free to stop by if you ever have any questions about housing at Reed - or just need a good restaurant recommendation!

Working to assist the House Advisors in everything they do are 5 Resident Directors (RDs). RDs are full-time professional staff members who work and live on campus. RD's provide support for the house advisors, are advocates for students concerns, and help students experiencing difficulties at Reed. They provide emergency on-call coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week when school is in session.

I'm Britt Q. Hoover and I am the RD for the lovely Old Dorm Block and Anna Mann community. This is my second year at Reed and I am thrilled to call it and Portland home. I am from up and down the I-5 corridor, having lived everywhere from Bellingham to Corvallis, where I completed my Ed.M in College Student Services Administration at Oregon State University. A cursory introduction to my interests includes world travel, photography, cycling, rock and roll, thrifting and – saving the most sacred for last – brunch!

Hey There! My Name is Nayland. I get to oversee the Cross Canyon Residence Halls as well as Reed's terrific five Language Houses. Home is small-town Idaho, but I also really love rainy PDX. I went to school at Idaho State University and got a degree in American Studies before I completed an M. Ed. in Higher Education and Student Affairs at the University of South Carolina. I love running with my amazing pooch, Eliot, and also really get down on cooking for other people. I am a burgeoning gardener as well, and tend to be up for discussions on food, politics, music, and travel. If you ever need some puppy therapy, just let me know and Eliot would love to join you for a belly scratch!

Hi folks. I'm Kate, the RD for the communities of the Grove, the Apartments, and the Houses.  This is my third year at Reed.  Throughout my time here, I have enjoyed working with the communities I have overseen as well as working with the Sports Center teaching a PE and leading Gray Fund trips and working with the Honor Council doing training on mediation.  Outside of my work at Reed, I enjoy exploring Portland by bike and the regional waterways by kayak or SUP.  I am originally from Iowa by way of North Carolina.  I received my undergraduate degree from Georgia Southern University in International Studies and Spanish, and my Masters degree was earned at the University of Connecticut in Higher Education and Student Affairs.  Being raised by very southern parents, I am a fan of sweet tea, grits, and boiled peanuts and would be happy to spread some southern goodness. 

Hey peeps! My name is Julia and I'm so happy to be working as the RD for Foster, Scholz, and MacNaughton. I'm originally from the Bay Area in California, and I did my undergraduate work at University of the Pacific. After graduating, I moved to a little town called Oxford, Ohio to complete my M.S. in Student Affairs at Miami University. One of my academic and personal interests is gaming, and you can often find me playing online games in my spare time. Some of my other interests include anything fantasy/sci-fi, movies, camping, and the beach! Feel free to stop by and chat sometime, or join me for a game!
