Meet Our Team!
Timothy Reese, Apartments Hall Director
Hello! My name is Timothy Reese and I am excited to join the Residence Life team at Xavier! I have spent the last three years working as a Hall Director at Tennessee Tech University, with prior experience working at an international boarding school for high school students in northern Wisconsin, my home state. I hold a Bachelor's degree in History Secondary Education from Toccoa Falls College, and am currently working on my MA in History from the University of Memphis. I am an avid sports fan and also love playing various sports, including soccer, basketball, Spikeball, and disc golf. Music is also a passion of mine, and I listen to a wide variety of genres and love getting a chance to see live musicians perform, in large and small settings. I also play the drums, sing, and am currently learning electric guitar. I enjoy strong coffee, craft beer, good food, and great conversations.
Anderson Reeves, Brockman Hall Director
Hello! My name is Anderson Reeves, and I am thrilled to be joining the Xavier community as a Hall Director. I am coming to Xavier after nearly seven years at Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY, where, in that time, I received my B.A. in Arts Administration with a Music Emphasis in 2020, and my M.Ed. in Higher Education Leadership and Social Justice in 2022. Also in that time, I worked for three years in Housing and Residence Life as a resident assistant, and, most recently, as the Assistant Director of Campus Ministry. I am excited to be returning to my first student affairs love through my new role at XU! In my spare time, I enjoy composing music, spending time outdoors, reading new fiction, and spending time in the company of friends, new and old.
Mickey McIntyre, Buenger Hall Director
Hello! My name is Mickey and I am super excited to be working in Residence Life here at Xavier! I feel honored to be able to serve as Buenger Hall Director while fulfilling my duties as a graduate student in the I-O Psychology master's program here. For a little bit about myself, I grew up in Warren, Ohio, and got my bachelor's degree in Neuroscience with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Mount Union, where I also served as a Resident Assistant for three years. I was drawn to Xavier due to its core Jesuit values of prioritizing the needs of each individual, and I anticipate living out that mission through my work as hall director.
Hannah Sanders, Husman Hall Director
Hello! I have an M.Ed in Student Affairs from the University of Maryland and a B.A. in Public Management, Leadership, and Policy from Ohio State University. I have worked in Residence Life since my undergraduate years, and I have been a Hall Director at Xavier for the past two years. I most enjoy getting to know my RA team and Residents throughout the year, and I truly love working at Xavier. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, going on walks, and crafting.
Derick Logan, Justice Hall Director
Hello! I'm Derick Logan, joining the Xavier Division of Student Affairs as a Hall Director, making the transition from Area Coordinator at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH. I am originally a southern New Jersey native, and am excited to make the move to Cincinnati after spending the better part of the last decade in New England. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Media Studies, Journalism, and Digital Arts from Saint Michael's College in Vermont and my Master's in TESOL from Saint Michael's. I enjoy working with my RA staff and empowering them to be successful professionals in any field they're passionate about. In my free time, I love going on adventures with my family, playing fantasy football, following Philadelphia sports, and collecting Pokemon.
Amy Brown, Kuhlman Hall Director
Hello! I am so excited to be joining the team at Xavier University! I am originally from the Greater Cincinnati area - I grew up in Milford, OH. I got my bachelor's degree in Organizational Leadership at Northern Kentucky University and my master's degree in College Student Personnel at Bowling Green State University. I have been working as a Hall Director at Ball State University for the past two years, and I am grateful to return home to Cincinnati. I have a twin sister who also works in higher education, so I guess it runs in the family! A few of my hobbies include hiking, camping, crafting, and game nights. I am also always down to grab a cup of coffee or chat over lunch. I look forward to meeting everyone!
Tim Griffin, Assistant Director for Housing Operations
Tim Griffin is originally from Cincinnati and returned home in 2020 after spending ten years living and working in Chicago. He received his BA in History up the road at Ohio State University and a MEd in Higher Education from fellow Jesuit institution Loyola University Chicago. His first professional position was at a small, liberal arts school, Elmhurst College, as a Residence Life Coordinator. His professional journey became a bit of a ping pong match as he bounced back to working at Loyola University Chicago in residence life and then back to Elmhurst College where he worked with housing operations. Tim joined the Xavier Residence Life family in January 2020 and works with housing assignments, departmental budgets and other operational processes. In his free time, Tim likes spending time with his nephew and niece, musicals, movies, and getting reacquainted with his hometown.
Matt Zalman, Assistant Director of Residence Life
Matt Zalman is originally from the home of Kool-Aid, Hastings, Nebraska. He received his BA in Film from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and a MA in English from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. His first professional position was at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln as a Residence Director at UNL. After seven years, his love of this work made him want to get another Master's degree, this time in Education Administration - Student Affairs. After UNL, he spent five years working with academic initiatives, learning communities, and fostering Graduate Assistants into the field at Appalachian State University. Recently, he has completed his doctorate in Educational Leadership and is excited to continue his work in Student Affairs. Currently, he has been with Xavier since November 2018 and happy to be part of the Xavier family.

Lori (Bert) Lambert, Senior Director of Student Affairs
Lori, or Bert as she is known by most on campus, has lived all over the east coast/Midwest before settling in Cincinnati. Her love for Residence Life started as an RA at Keene State College in New Hampshire as an undergraduate psychology major, with a management minor. Graduate school at Shippensburg University furthered her passion for working with students and even though she was a psychology major, she continued her work as a Graduate Residence Director out of the Dean of Students Office. Bert found her way to Cincinnati and Xavier as the Husman Hall Director and figured she would be there for two years and gone, 32 years (and a few promotions) later she considers Xavier and Cincinnati home. Bert enjoys yard work, biking, watching sporting events, and the museums in Cincinnati.
