About me:

Hello! I am Quinneka McDonald and this is my second year as an RA, I am truly excited for the upcoming semester and what it has in store. I enjoy hanging out with friends, going out and having fun.  I also like to listen to music and watching movies and just relaxing. I love meeting new people and doing new things, being adventurous is a plus in my book. Medaille College has allowed that for me in its Residence Life Department. Being a part of Res Life is very important to me. Being an RA is such a wonderful experience, and I encourage everyone who is interested to apply. I know that being an RA has allowed me to get to know my follow residents on a more personal level and interact with them and other organizations on campus. Not only have I created meaningful relationships with my residents I have joined a larger family. Medaille is a great place to be and I am very fortunate to be here and share my time with you guys !
