What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola?

My favorite thing about working at Loyola is working with a team who goes above and beyond in good and bad. The team is caring and helpful. Also working with a variety of students allows me more to comprehend them and the University experience in their view. Adulting is a big step in life and I feel proud to be available to guide them during this transition.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee?

My most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee is truly honoring my title by doing what I love best, educating, and helping others. I am honored to work with people who allow me to express my wisdom and leadership skills. I get to volunteer on our wellness fairs and at SSOM orientations by talking about my role.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you?

Working at a Jesuit institution allows me to practice my beliefs towards God and his powers of healing. Loyola's mission allows me to help others with the sole purpose of making a difference in someone's life. I am a firm believer that healthcare is a human right.

What motivates you to succeed each and every day?

My children. My family. My title.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride:

I wear Loyola t- shirts everyday. I have a specific one with Sister Jean on it. The compliments I receive are endless.

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you:

None. I am a neutral person.
