  Bethany Perez

  Resident Advisor

  Hi my name is Bethany Perez I am originally from a very small town in California, but
  recently moved further into So Cal. I grew up playing soccer, played for college and now recently
  am recovering from an ACL tear. I love Legos, I have a bunch of different ones and I always buy
  them but my favorite is my Lego stitch. I have now graduated from St. Joseph’s University, and I am planning on taking my NCLEX soon and officially after four brutal years become an RN! Combining all of my experience I hope to be an Operating Room Nurse or a Pediatric Emergency Nurse, I am hoping that my second language will help make families from other countries feel more safe and cared for.

  Alexis Jensen

  Resident Advisor

  Alexis is a California native studying physics at NYU. Her love for space started young, but it was the movie Interstellar that lit the spark that led her to dive into astrophysics and quantum mechanics. She’s fascinated by the way science can explain the biggest mysteries of the universe—and how it sometimes leaves room for wonder. Her passion for aviation was sparked by her father, and she’s currently training to earn her pilot’s license. Her work is driven by curiosity, imagination, and a desire to understand the invisible forces that shape our world.
