What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola?
I have two equally favorite things: the diverse and challenging legal projects that I get to work on every day in the Office of General Counsel, and my professional, friendly, and intelligent colleagues.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee?
Two work experiences stand out: working on the legal aspects of Loyola's transition from the Horizon League to the Missouri Valley Conference and negotiating Loyola's most recent beverage agreement with Coke®.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you?
Contributing to the advancement of an institution that is committed to serving people through education.

What motivates you to succeed each and every day?
I'm motivated every day by working to be the best lawyer I can possibly be for the benefit of Loyola and by striving to constantly grow, learn, and evolve as a lawyer.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride.
In my office, I have several bobbleheads of players and coaches from the 1963 NCAA Championship men's basketball team. I also sport Loyola athletic apparel when running.

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you.
I spent several years in my early childhood living in Indonesia.
