What’s My Why: It is truly such a privilege to walk alongside students in their first few years away from home. As budding adults, my hope is that every student finds their worth and identity in Christ and that this truth propels them to exhibit the fruits of the Spirit to all they encounter. It is an honor to encourage, support, coach, and challenge my students as they prepare to enter the workforce in their respective fields. Lastly, college is just so fun, and these kids keep me young!

Hannah Nelson

Residence Halls: 002:A 1-4

Hometown: Mechanicsburg, PA
What’s My Why: The college years are some of the most impactful and pivotal points in a young adult’s life. The relationships they form and the skills they sharpen in those four some-odd years are remarkably important in shaping them into the person God calls them to be. I feel immensely privileged to get to come alongside students, specifically RAs, and work to prepare them for their next steps. We truly get the opportunity to disciple and develop young men and women to be leaders in their homes, workplaces, churches, and more.

Male Residence Halls

Dylan Antoine

B.S.
Residence Halls: 001:A 1-4

Hometown: Carmel, IN
What’s My Why: On June 14, 2014, the Gospel of Jesus Christ transformed my life, as I was redeemed through the gift of salvation. This, paired with a desire to serve and love others, has led me to the RD position. I am passionate about the ministry of working with college students as they navigate the journey of receiving an education, building a life-long community, developing an understanding of who God is and what He has done for them, and ultimately becoming Champions for Christ beyond the walls of our University.

I am a product of God’s grace and many loving mentors that have poured their lives into me. I strive to serve my students with the same excellence, intentionality, and love that others have shown me.

Hometown: Bethlehem, PA
What’s My Why: I want to build the next generation of young men to be confident in who they are, and who God is to them. I’ve learned you only need to be on the next step to help the person behind you. If I can assist a young man in his next step in life on where or what God has for him, why wouldn’t I?

Jonathan Herrera, Sr. Resident Director

MBA
Residence Halls: 002:B 5-8

Hometown: Ahuachapan, El Salvador
What’s My Why: My ‘why’ is rooted in my mission to serve God and people with love and excellence for the glory of Christ. Through my international experiences, my passion for hospitality, and my love for biblical community, I hope to support young adults during some of the most formative years of their lives here at Liberty University. My prayer is that God will use these opportunities to guide them toward their true potential and a life of love, excellence, and faith in Jesus.

Jayson Carr

B.S.
Residence Halls: 004 T-3

Hometown: Galax, VA
What’s My Why: Later in my High School years, the Lord began placing humble and Godly men in my life to provide mentorship and companionship. Had it not been for God’s ever-consistent grace and mercy I may have never considered the question “How do I honor the Lord with my life?”. In short, my “Why?” of being a Resident Director is being in a position to offer the same mentorship and companionship to male students at LU. (Lam. 3:19-36 BSB)
