Hi! I'm Sai Sai. I spent three years in medical school in Myanmar (Burma) with the dream of becoming a doctor. Unfortunately, the political turmoil and military coup disrupted my studies. Thanks to the support of my foster family, I was able to relocate to New York and continue my education. I decided to start a new chapter by changing my major. I studied business administration at Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) before transferring to Columbia University. I also had the opportunity to study global innovation in Tokyo for a semester and participate in youth development programs in Thailand, Cambodia, and Japan. I worked as a resident assistant, a public speaking tutor, and a mentor at BMCC. In my free time, I love biking and watching crime documentaries. I truly enjoy engaging with people, listening to their stories, and building new connections. I'm really excited to meet all of the residents, so please feel free to reach out!

Northwest Corner

Hello, everyone! My name is Morgan Johns and I'm a former ballerina from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Prior to attending GS, I danced for a company in Richmond, VA, a city with pervasive commitment to social and environmental advocacy. I was deeply drawn to working with organizations like the Sierra Club and the League of Women Voters, and my mentors inspired me so much that I decided to leave my ballet career behind and study Sustainable Development with Columbia's Earth Institute. Since moving to NYC, I have found home in Columbia's vibrant theater community, especially with King's Crown Shakespeare Troupe and my teammates from the 128th Annual Varsity Show. As an RA, I'm passionate about helping students prioritize their wellbeing by discovering what home means to them here at Columbia.

Hi everyone! I was born and raised in Singapore, and I am majoring in Sociology where my research focuses on third spaces and culture. Before coming to New York, I served two years in Singapore’s Naval Diving Unit, then backpacked solo across Europe, learning a lot about myself (including how bad I am with directions). On weekends, you’ll find me listening to house music, exploring new food spots, watching theatre, or working out. Having lived in close quarters: from Army Bunks to European Hostels; I’ve come to believe that tight spaces can be the most powerful catalysts for community.  That’s why I’m so excited to be your RA: as an international student, I know feeling at home isn’t about square footage but about building shared memories and meaningful connections. I love bringing people together, whether it’s a themed party, a casual hangout, or a spirited debate about Japanese Butoh theatre or unlikely food combos (orange juice and espresso, anyone?). My inbox is always open, and my Spotify recs are just an email away.

My name is Robert Mulvey. I am a retired, former professional dancer pursuing my bachelor’s degree in philosophy with a French concentration. I was born in Bethesda, MD and spent many years moving all around the United States – Maine, Vermont, Idaho, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and more! In my last few years dancing, I became deeply involved in labor organizing, and from there transitioned into a variety of management roles in luxury fashion sales and luxury hospitality. As a former team leader, I am intimately aware of the ways strong communication and comradery can enrich a community, and I am eager to discover ways to strengthen these bonds within our very own unique GS student body. I am thrilled to return to school, and what better place than Columbia – with its core curriculum – to venture on a journey to expand my mind! I am so blessed to be a resource, confidant, and friend to every one of you, and I cannot wait to meet you on campus soon!
