Welcome to Wake Forest! I have been with the Office of Residence Life and Housing since June 2000, first as Associate Director of Residence Life and most recently as Director of Residence Life. I transitioned to the role of Dean of Residence Life and Housing in October 2006.

I graduated from North Carolina State University with a BA in Communications, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with an M.Ed in Higher Education Administration, and earned my doctorate in Higher Education Administration from Florida State University .

While a Wolfpacker at heart, I enjoy working as a Demon Deacon and serving the needs of the Wake Forest student community!

I joined Wake Forest in January 2010 as Superintendent of the Lock Shop after moving up from New Orleans where I had worked in Facilities Management for sixteen years. I transferred over to Residence Life and Housing as the Manager of Deacon OneCard in September 2012. My responsibilities include managing the superb staff in the Deacon OneCard office and overseeing card access, cameras, and access control capital projects and improvements.
I graduated from Gardner-Webb University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and from the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Church Music. Additionally, I graduated from Association of Physical Plant Administrators’ Institute for Facilities Management and am a registered locksmith with the Associated Locksmiths of America.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
I am excited to be part of the Residence Life and Housing team!

I joined the Wake Forest family in January 2010 as the Director of Residence Life. In that role, I supervise the Assignments, Residence Life, and Residence Education areas. Additionally, I assist with budget planning and I am the human resources liaison for the department.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English from Davidson College, a Master of Education in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of South Carolina, and an Doctor of Education in Higher Education from the University of North Florida. Prior to coming to Wake Forest, I was the Director of Residential Life at Jacksonville University in Florida. I also worked in residence life at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I am very excited about enriching the already wonderful residential community at Wake Forest. I love meeting students, so please stop by my office in 104 Alumni Hall!

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Texas A&M University, a Master of Science in Student Services Administration from Baylor University, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling and Student Personnel Services from the University of Georgia.

As an educator, I am truly excited about being a part of Wake Forest and working to create a transformative living and learning environment.

Hello Everyone!
I joined Wake Forest University in September 2012 and have loved every minute of it. I first became acquainted with Wake Forest while working for Frank L. Blum Construction. I was assigned to work on several projects including Deacon Tower, South Hall, The Barn and most recently the new North Campus residence halls which will be completed by August 2013. I so much enjoyed working with Wake Forest University and the people here that I decided I had to become a Demon Deacon fan and employee! In my role as Access Systems Administrator in the Deacon OneCard office, I am in the position to serve students, faculty and staff at Wake Forest.

I received my Associate’s degree in Computer Information Systems from BYU-Idaho, and then completed my Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems Management from Baker College.

Go Deacs!

I am very excited to join the office of Residence Life and Housing at Wake Forest! I will be serving as the Residence Life Coordinator for North Campus. Some of my responsibilities include supervising North Campus residence hall staff, co-instructing a section of the Resident Adviser course, and co-advising the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH).

I am an alumna of Western Carolina University where I was a Psychology and Sociology double major. I was a Resident Assistant at WCU, and I have been working in Residence Life ever since! Most recently, I spent four years at Young Harris College as a Resident Director while working through graduate school. In 2011, I earned my M.S. in Youth Development Leadership from Clemson University. I love working with students, and I am thrilled about my newest opportunity at WFU! In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, crafts, and exploring new things.

Please feel free to stop by my office in Alumni Hall if you have any questions, concerns, or if you just want to say "Hi"!

Hello, I’m Kristy Eanes. I joined the Residence Life and Housing staff in June 2004 as the front desk staff assistant. Now, I coordinate all room assignments for on campus undergraduate students. Working with students is definitely enjoyable and rewarding!

Wake is a beautiful place to work. I look forward to many years with such a great group of individuals.

Hello, I’m Teresa! I began my career at Wake Forest in July 1996. I currently serve as the Coordinator of Marketing.

I received my B.A. in Sociology from Wake Forest University and am looking forward to pursuing my master’s degree. I love working with the students at Wake and feel extremely blessed to be an employee of the University. It’s wonderful to work with such a great group of individuals within the Wake Forest community.

In my quiet moments, I love spending time with my family, reading, shopping, listening to classical music and watching HGTV.

Please drop by 104 Alumni Hall to say hello. Go Deacs!

“Hello, welcome to Residence Life & Housing, this is Lisa, how may I help you?” In the summer of 2008 I joined Residence Life & Housing as Staff Assistant, and I have been saying that ever since – and loving it. I am here to answer any questions you may have about life at Wake Forest University and if I don’t know the answer I will get it for you.

I am the daughter of Wake Forest grads, the wife of a Wake Forest grad, the parent of Wake Forest grads and a Wake Forest graduate myself, so I can look at RL&H issues from many different angles. I have lived in Bostwick, Babcock, Luter (“new dorm” back then), and even the North Campus Apartments (I was a baby at the time—they were still the Faculty Apartments), so I am familiar with what makes the campus a wonderful place to live.

So give me a call, I am here to help parents and students alike have a great living experience at Wake Forest University!

GO DEACS!

I came to Wake Forest in the fall of 2007 as an undergraduate student. After completing my B.A. double major in both Anthropology and Religion, I was fortunate enough to be hired as a full-time staff member in February 2012.
My working relationship with Residence Life and Housing spans several years with time spent as a student worker and Resident Adviser prior to transitioning into my staff role. I currently work as Coordinator of Housing within the office handling aspects of the residential facilities of a campus I have grown to call home.
Outside of work I enjoy playing soccer and working with leather, spending time with friends, all manner of hiking and camping and working in the Campus Garden.
If you feel so inclined, swing by the office and say hello!

My name is Cherise James and I am the Residence Life Coordinator for South Campus. South Campus includes 1,350 residents, 6 graduate hall directors and the approximately 55 Resident Advisers who call Babcock, Bostwick, Collins, Johnson, Luter or South Hall home. Some of my specific job functions includes oversight and supervising the South Campus staff, instructing one section of the CNS353 Resident Adviser course, co-advising the Resident Student Association (RSA) and serving as a liaison between first-year students and University administration.

I received my Bachelors of Science degree in public relations from the College of Journalism and Communication at the University of Florida. After completing my studies at UF, I worked as a full time professional for a privatized housing company where I was responsible for running the housing program of a small fashion school in Atlanta, GA. After this brief hiatus, I returned to the Ft. Lauderdale area where I earned my masters in College Student Affairs with an emphasis in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from Nova Southeastern University.

I am thrilled to be a part of the Demon Deacon family and look forward to see you around campus!

I am excited about serving Wake Forest in the role of Coordinator of Residence Education. My roles include taking the primary lead in the coordination of departmental training activities with our resident advisers and graduate hall directors; coordinating our undergraduate and graduate staff selection and placement processes; overseeing building level educational initiatives; campus-wide programming initiatives; managing the programmatic resources for staff; teaching a section of the Resident Advising course during the fall semesters; and coordinating the Theme Housing program.

I am fortunate to work directly with residents as an advisor for the Resident Student Association and National Residence Hall Honorary, and with our student staff in advising the Residence Life Advisory Board and the Theme Program Assistants.

I received my B.S. in Business Administration from Georgetown College and M.Ed in College Student Personnel from the University of Louisville. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors - being active with friends and family, and exploring new places.

I really love meeting and working with Wake Forest students. Stop by 104 Alumni Hall anytime - it’s pretty much the place to be!

Hi I’m Gina Jones! I have been with Wake Forest University since April, 1997. I began in the WFU Police Department, moved to Wake Forest Properties and I now work with Residence Life and Housing as an Access System Administrator. I work with an awesome group that ensures the security of our campus through Electronic Physical Security. This includes the implementation and maintenance of card readers, card access and scheduling, door locks, panic buttons and camera systems. I am so excited to be back on campus and working with the students on a daily basis!
Through my involvement with the Police Department, I became a Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) instructor. Working with female students in this capacity is a strong passion of mine as I believe it brings out the awareness, knowledge and strength that women already have.
During my downtime, I enjoy relaxing with family and friends. In the past, I have played softball and ridden horses. From time to time I still get to enjoy those things. I have two children that are very involved in sports --they certainly keep me moving and I love it!

Hello everyone! I am very excited to be a part of the Wake Forest community and the Residence Life & Housing team! My role as the Assistant Director of Residence Education enables me to serve the community in a variety of ways. The training, development, and selection processes for our staff and the coordination of various student programming initiatives are a significant portion of my responsibilities. However, I am also involved with student organizations, such as RSA and NRHH, assessment practices within the department, our Theme Housing program, and developing partnerships with faculty and other campus departments.
Before I had the opportunity to come to Winston-Salem, I was fortunate enough to work as a Residence Life Coordinator at Towson University, which is near Baltimore, Maryland. I completed my graduate program in 2007 at the University of South Carolina and received a Masters of Education in Higher Education & Student Affairs. At my undergraduate institution, Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA, I studied History/Government and Philosophy/Political Thought.
Whether you are involved in Residence Life & Housing or not, I hope you stop by my office in Room 104, Alumni Hall and say hello!

I have been with Wake Forest University since October 2004 and am very happy to be a part of the Residence Life and Housing team. As the Administrative Coordinator for Housing, I work specifically to help make sure students have the best experience possible living on campus. In the daily course of my job, I help with a multitude of problems or concerns regarding rooms or residence halls in general. I have to say, working with students is the very best part of being at Wake Forest University.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, volunteering at Brenner’s Children’s Hospital and reading as much as I can squeeze in.

In addition to working for Wake Forest since 2007 as an access and security integrator for an outside contracted company, I bring over 12 years of experience in the programming and utilization of technical systems and electronic devices.

In May 2011, I accepted the opportunity to serve the University as one of the Access System Administrators in the Deacon OneCard office. In my role, I issue new and replacement Deacon OneCards, set access parameters, resolve technical issues, monitor projects and, most importantly, help insure the safety and security of all students, staff members and faculty. Please stop by the Deacon OneCard office anytime and meet me and my fellow team members.
