Lacey Reynolds
Hinckley Hall Advisor
|
My name is Lacey Reynolds. I am native to Provo, Utah … born and raised. I graduated from BYU in Marriage Family and Human Development. While at BYU I was an RA here in Helaman Halls for 2 years. I gorged myself on amazing mangos and pineapples while I served the people of the Brasil Joao Pessoa Mission. I went on to get a Master’s Degree from the University of Utah in Occupational Therapy and loved working with the pediatric outpatient population in Twin Falls, Idaho. I have been married to my husband, Jeremy, for 2 years. Ours is an interesting story if you ever want to know. We have one son, Ryan Reynolds...not the actor. I love Brasil Futebol, sugar, textures, and am beginning to pick up running and yoga. I also am an eclectic in music and you will often find me in the office listening to all kinds of music. |

Vanessa Pelo
Chipman Hall Advisor
|
Hello and welcome to Chipman Hall! My name is Vanessa Pelo and I'm your hall advisor. I'm most recently from Charleston, Utah, but my family has also lived in Ohio, New Zealand, Provo and Alpine, Utah (in 12 different houses I can remember). I started my university experience at BYU living in Deseret Towers before transferring to Southern Utah University for a couple years before my mission. I lived on-campus at SUU and worked as an RA for 3 years, both before and after a mission to Germany and Austria. Now I'm your hall advisor in Chipman! I love living in on-campus housing and working with students. I'm the oldest of 10 kids and I love spending time with my family, (especially my baby niece). I will soon graduate with a bachelor's degree in German Literature, so if you have any questions about Goethe or Wagner or any of those crazy Germans, I'd love to talk to you! I also love music, reading, opera, studying the Gospel and history, and I've just taken up running. I'm here to help you have a great experience at BYU, so please come introduce yourself to me! |

I was born and raised in Michigan and Minnesota but moved to Utah for the last two years of high school. I am the 3rd of 11 kids and love hanging out with my family including my 6 niecen and nephewen (any Brian Reagan fans?). I studied Art at Snow College and served a mission in Phoenix, Arizona before transferring to BYU. I majored in Illustration with a minor in Psychology here at BYU and love learning new things. I worked as an RA for 2 years which is how I met my husband Jeremy. We got married last April in the Manti temple. My husband and I love rock climbing, hiking, camping, snow shoeing, and road trips. So that's a little about me. Please come help me get to know you better. If you have any questions or wanna visit, that's what I'm here for. I look forward to meeting you! |

Hi, and welcome to Taylor Hall! I'm Abby Porter and I enjoy long walks on the beach and Bollywood movies. I'm from North Carolina and went to Duke, and I was an RA there for two years. I majored in Public Policy, graduated in December 2010, and moved to Utah, where my husband Doug is attending BYU and majoring in Spanish Translation and Portuguese. My husband and I have been married for over two years, and we have a cherished avocado tree that we raised from a seed - I'm accepting recommendations for its name. We love tap dancing and reading, and my fondest ambition is to start a garage band. I absolutely loved being an RA at Duke and decided that I want to continue working in Residence Life, which is why I'm here! I'd love to get to know you better, so come on by! |

Tommy Scherbel
Broadbent, Felt, Fox, and Harris Hall Advisor| I’m Thomas Scherbel, but everyone calls me Tommy. I was married in June 2012, to my fantastic wife, Camberlea. I am from Afton, Wyoming, and I enjoy any and all sports. Before becoming a Hall Advisor, I was an Resident Assistant for three years. During that time I learned, along with 120 other young men I assisted, how continual growth will help me reach my potential. I am a Civil Engineering Major, graduating in December of 2013, but that hasn’t stopped me from wanting to help as many people as I can enjoy their time while living in BYU housing. |

Brittany Littlefield
E. Richards and Building 25 Hall Advisor| I was born and raised in Southern California. At 18, I left my hometown for BYU-Idaho. I loved the school and the (freezing) climate but felt that I needed to be somewhere else. I transferred to BYU with my associates degree and recently graduated with a degree in family life and an emphasis in human development. I have been married to my high school sweetheart Mark for just over two years. I have had the privilege to be an RA both in Idaho and Provo. It is awesome to be part of a gospel-centered community and have others to lean on and learn from. I look forward to being able to help students learn and grow both spiritually and mentally! |

I was raised in Canby, Oregon and Pinetop, Arizona. I am a jack of many trades, but my favorite thing to do is organize, plan, and carry out an event or program. This hobby has led me to my career choice: I am completing a degree in recreation management, with an emphasis in community recreation. The dynamic among communities and people fascinates me and I find great satisfaction in participating in the freshman experience and transition into college life. I have worked with Residence Life for three years and get more and more excited for the growing opportunities here, both for myself and for the residents! |

Hello and welcome to BYU! My name is Cami Romney. I grew up in a great home with 3 brothers and several horses on a rec-ranch about an hour away from Banff, Alberta. I graduated from BYU with a double major in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology and Russian. I served a mission in Donetsk, Ukraine and I did an internship in Moscow, Russia. After that, I came home and married the man of my dreams, David, who promptly whisked me away to the Middle East for several months. I love to travel and I've spent more than half my life outside of the US. It's helped me understand and appreciate different languages and cultures. I have a black belt in Tae-kwon-doe and in my free time I love to bake, make trips to Sonic with my brother, play games and hike with my husband. I'm excited to get to know you and I'm happy you'll be joining us in Wyview. |
