What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? I most enjoy being on a busy campus and interacting with students across academic levels. Helping students with the resources they need to navigate campus, and our conversations about everything from classes to what is going on that day.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? My most memorable achievements are the days I can help new students and parents understand the services and resources available to them. Regardless of prior experience, the first days on campus and in a new environment for students and parents, can be challenging. I enjoy providing comfort and assistance with navigating campus life and enjoying their time here.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you?  I value working in an environment where my personal beliefs can align with the beliefs of the University. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive and have access to resources that allow them to positively make their mark on the world. Each department contributes to student success in their own way. Students are diverse, and so are the issues they experience. I take this into account when offering information and assistance, and do my best to make students comfortable and ready to move forward. 

What motivates you to succeed each and every day? Students! I work behind the scenes on their behalf. Ensuring they have a smooth experience when accessing dining halls, navigating campus, and utilizing resources across campus, motivates me to do my best each day.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride: By offering information about the services available to students, staff, and faculty, so everyone can take full advantage of their time on this beautiful campus! And wearing my favorite Rambler gear!

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you: I’ve been golfing since the age of 5. I enjoy hitting the greens on a nice day or the golf dome on a snowy one!
