Laurie Kunzler

Hinckley Hall Advisor

I'm the Hall Advisor for Hinckley Hall. It's my first year in this position, but I bring with me a love and passion for Residence Life that I can't wait to share with you! I hail from the OH so beautiful state of Maryland where my heart will forever stay. Green, rolling hills and miles of trees are my idea of heaven. I am still a student at BYU in Recreational Management and Youth Leadership, emphasizing in Therapeutic Recreation. So basically, I get to teach people how to have a better quality of life through having fun! I've been married to my sweet husband, Shawn, for 4 months, and they have been blissful. He truly is my Prince Charming. I love to cook (I own over 30 cookbooks), I love to read classic novels, and I love getting to know new people. So, stop by and say hello! Who knows? You might just get a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie out of it! See you soon!

Danica Flake

Chipman Hall Advisor

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 events and programs. This hobby is 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 the residents!

Amy Lee

David John Hall Advisor

My name is Amy and I'm the David John hall advisor. I was born and raised in southern California, but am more recently from Boston, MA. I graduated from BYU in psychology, and have since been a social worker, full-time nanny, marketing director of development, cake decorator, and now Hall Advisor for the coolest place to live at BYU. My future plans include getting a masters degree in education with specialization in higher education/ student development. I love helping college students learn how to be in the "real world" and figure out what they want to do with their lives.

I'm the luckiest girl ever to have the world's most adorable little girl as my daughter. She's a princess in every way, and even practices falling into a sleeping spell after taking a bite of an apple. She also thinks she's an R.A., so if you see her coming down the hall telling you that your room looks good after checking if it's clean, or telling you that it's time for the boys to leave after visiting hours, just go with it.


Well, that's a glimpse of me, the David John Hall Advisor. We have a lot of fun here, and the staff and I work very hard to help you all have an awesome experience your first year of college! I'm happy to be a part of that experience!

While earning my degree in Public Health, I enjoyed dancing with the BYU Ballroom and Folk Dance Companies. Looking back, the year I lived on campus was one of my favorites at BYU.

Hi, I'm Lessa Petrini, the Hall Advisor of Wyview Park Buildings 1 through 5. I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada but left the warm winters to come to school here at BYU. In my spare time, I love to read, jog, hike, and go to Disneyland. In fact, you could probably say that my husband and I are Disneyland fanatics.

I have been a Hall Advisor for four years, three of which I've spent at Wyview Park. Up until last April when I graduated with my masters degree in journalism, I have been a student, so I know how important it is to have a homey place to live while you're in school. Wyview is a fun, roomy place to live and study.

Kim Domacilio grew up by the bright lights of Las Vegas. She graduated from Ricks College and before completing her Bachelors Degree, she served a mission in Okinawa Japan, where to say 'hello', you would say, 'Hai Sai'. She is proud to have bungee jumped, parasailed at 1200 feet, hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to Havasupai, jogged 6 miles without stopping, taken art classes from one of the best portrait artists, played the cello on stage, met with congressional leaders in Washington DC, met and married a handsome and kind Brazilian return missionary and is raising the most fun, most alive and beautiful little boy. She has spent the last 10 years working for the TRIO programs (a program to help high school students prepare for college) at Dixie State, SUU and Salt Lake Community College, and loved working with those amazing students.

She loves to cook, eat, watch marathons, read before going to bed, walk in the mountains, receive letters and packages and be with people she loves. She has recently taken up beekeeping, (but not on campus). She is a proud BYU alumni and is always ready to shout, "Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah...Go... Cou-gars!"
