Nevada LLC Hall Directors

Samantha Piechocinski

Resident Director for the Nevada Living Learning Community

Hi! My name is Samantha Piechocinski! I am a native of Lemont, Illinois, which is about 15 miles southwest of Chicago. I graduated from Murray State University in Kentucky in 2009 with my Bachelors in History and Sociology. I received my Masters in College Student Personnel Services and Administration from the University of Central Arkansas. My hobbies include watching movies, reading, and baking. I like to run and want to complete a marathon one day. I am a die-hard Murray State Basketball fan (Go Racers!). This is my first year at the University of Nevada and I am really looking forward to all of the new opportunities here. I am really excited that the Nevada Living Learning Community is open for its first year and can't wait to see what the students living here will accomplish this year!

Stephanie Jones

Hello, My name is Stephanie Jones. I am from Olympia, WA (although I have lived all over the country as an Army brat). I graduated from Washington State University with a BS in Psychology and am working on my Master's in Counseling and Educational Psychology, emphasizing in Marriage, Couples and Family Therapy here at the University of Nevada, Reno. My goals for this year are to help the staff and students in making this year the best experience for everyone and leave a lasting impression on the University for Nevada LLC's first year on campus. I look forward to meeting as many students as possible throughout this year and help each and every one of you make this the year that you want it to be.
