    What prompted you to pursue your field?

    The common theme that runs through my career is a passion for leveraging higher education for a positive impact on students and communities. In my career, I have advised executive leadership of universities, companies, and communities, helping to launch and lead major innovative healthcare and biotech collaborative projects for impact.

    What called you to or attracted you to Loyola?

    Loyola’s emphasis on Jesuit Catholic intellectual tradition, which includes serving the underserved and social justice, matches my own tradition of Tikkun Olam or repairing the world.
