What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? 
One thing I appreciate about working at Loyola is that this organization does not view its employees as nameless, faceless “worker bees” but genuinely cares about us as individuals. There is so much opportunity for growth not only in terms of career but opportunities for emotional and spiritual development.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? 
Up until this honor, receiving my M.Ed. from the School of Education. It was something that I could not have accomplished without the encouragement and support of the faculty and staff at Quinlan.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you?
Loyola’s mission means to do one’s best and to strive to make the world a better place. One may not always succeed but it is vitally important to try and never give up or have a defeatist attitude. 

What motivates you to succeed each and every day? 
The example set by my fellow co-workers.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride. 
I keep my family supplied with Rambler gear. My father is walking advertisement for Loyola!

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you. 
I have not owned a television in nearly eight years…Which probably explains my cluelessness when it comes to matters pertaining to pop culture!
