Morse College Aides

What is a College Aide?

The Morse College Aides man the front lines of the College by working in the front office and staffing college events. They sort your mail, check out equipment such as Wiimotes and a karaoke machine, and help you back into your room in case you’re locked out. The aides also work behind the scenes during almost all Morse events: College Teas, Mellon Dinners, study breaks, and more. Contact our aides at morsecollege.officeaides@yale.edu

Co-Chief
College Event Aide

Ramsay is a senior from Los Angeles, California former two-term MCC President, current FroCo, and Co-Chief Morse College Aide. He is an Urban Studies major with a wholehearted fascination for all things transportation and loves bike riding through New Haven. When he’s not planning Morse events and activities, you can find Ramsay working as a recruitment coordinator in the Yale Admissions Office, serving on the board of his Los Angeles neighborhood council, volunteering as a college mentor with New Haven REACH, or chairing a session of Yale Model Congress. Around campus, he loves finding a quiet study nook on the top floor of the Sterling stacks, socializing in the Morse library, or grabbing late-night ice cream from Ashley’s.

Hi! My name is James Collier, and I’m a sophomore from Oklahoma! I plan to major in math and physics! I have a deep love for astrophotography, art, and nature! I’m very excited to work in the office and get to know Morse and it’s Morsels better!

Abby Davis ‘24

College Office Aide

Abby Davis is a senior from Newberry, South Carolina majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. After undergraduate studies, she plans on attending medical school and eventually becoming an OB-GYN. She loves traveling, volunteering, and trying new things; the latest hobbies added to her list are scuba diving and surfing. In her free time, you can find her hanging out with friends, looking at bugs, or on a roof or other elevated surface somewhere.   

Sophia Davis ‘26

College Event Aide

Sophia is a sophomore from rural South Carolina. She is majoring in Psychology and hopes to work as a counselor before becoming a full-time missionary. In her free time, Sophia loves hanging out with her many siblings, playing and listening to music, reading, writing (especially poetry!), organizing picnics or tea parties, and spending time with God through all of it. She’s also obsessed with Morse College, so if you don’t see her chilling in the Game Room before evening rolls around each day, look again!

Mickey tunes into her creative side through painting and photography. She finds Yale most beautiful during the fall when the leaves are a mixture of golden brown to brilliant red. While she navigates her career and future, Mickey finds peace and joy in walking alongside God daily.

Kalisa Vasquez-Minas ‘25

College Office Aide

Kalisa is a junior from Los Angeles, California, and a prospective EPS major on the Solid Earth Science track. Having lived there their whole life, Kalisa is excited to experience the northeastern seasons and take trips to big cities on this side of the country. When they’re not studying or talking to their mom in Spanglish, you could find them watching Attack on Titan, rereading Percy Jackson, or tweeting about how tired they are.

Thuy An Nguyen ‘24

College Office Aide

Coming soon!

Ketty Nguyen ‘25

College Event Aide

Ketty Nguyen (she/her) is a junior from Austin, TX and Ames, IA. Ketty studies medical anthropology with intersecting interests in immigration and healthcare. Her non-Morsel friends also point out that it is impossible to carry a conversation without Ketty name-dropping Morse in all manners possible. Ketty doesn’t deny it. When not in Morse, Ketty might be climbing, FOOT-ing,  volunteering with HAVEN, obsessing over Taylor Swift’s discography, or re-ranking her favorite benches around campus.

Nita Qiu ‘24

College Office Aide

Nita is a senior (currently) majoring in Computer Science and Psychology. She’s originally from Woodbury, Minnesota and firmly believes that the correct word for soft drinks is “pop”. When she’s not practicing piano or studying, she’s reliving the 2000s in her airpods and coasting around on her ripstick. Nita also loves to stay active whether it’s on a cute jog with friends or ripping a frisbee with her suitemates. Be sure to say hi if you ever run into her at the best dining hall on campus (most likely in the pizza line)!

Sofia Rabbani ‘25

College Event Aide

Sofia Rabbani is a sophomore from Birmingham, Alabama. When asked, she says she is a prospective Mechanical Engineering major but is mostly undecided. She has a little walrus figurine named Alistair Hugo in her dorm to signify her college loyalty. In addition to being a Morse aide, she also displays her love for the best residential college by being a part of MCC. In order to convince herself and others she’s secure about her choice of major, she spends a lot of her time on campus in the CEID (that engineering lab with windows for walls). She can also sometimes be found in the Admissions Office, where she works as a Recruitment Coordinator. In her free time, she loves reading fantasy books, talking about the MCU and Game of Thrones, and listening to Taylor Swift.

Cecilia Russell ‘25

College Event Aide

Cecilia is a junior from Washington, DC planning to major in mechanical engineering. Her favorite season of the year is summer and the idea of a New England winter is completely terrifying to her. In her spare time, she enjoys jogging, drinking tea, and complaining loudly to anyone within earshot about her psets. Her uniform consists of a huge yellow puffer coat and anything with floral prints, so she is incredibly easy to recognize. Say hi!

Melissa Tamarkin ‘24

College Office Aide

Melissa is from San Diego, California and is an Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Major. As you could probably guess, she is really into plants and mushrooms. When she’s not in class learning about fish or rocks or something, you can find her watching trashy Kpop YouTube videos, playing Minecraft, and tending to the literal jungle in her suite. She also participates in the Yale Undergraduate Prison Project. Melissa is a die hard Morsel who has dyed her hair Morse red. She’ll also yell at you if you come into the office without a mask. 

Yvonne Trenh ‘24

College Office Aide

Hellouu! My name is Yvonne! I’m a senior from Los Angeles, California! I’m thinking of double majoring in Environmental Studies and Sociology (both with a concentration in Public Health) and possibly going pre-med! At Yale, I’m involved with MCC, CASA, and Matriculate! Catch me around various study spaces working ~very~ hard with my friends!
