What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola?
I enjoy seeing students reach their goals, both big and small.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee?
I feel a deep sense of accomplishment every time a student says that they’ve chosen to attend Loyola because of me.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you?
The Loyola mission is one of faith, service, leadership, and excellence. Weaving these themes into all I do is playing my small part to prepare and inspire students to lead extraordinary lives.

What motivates you to succeed each and every day?
I have the pleasure and honor of working with adult students returning to complete their degree. So much life has happened for these students before they arrive at Loyola and hearing their stories and becoming a part of their journey inspires me every day.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride.
On a daily basis, I encourage students to see past their own fears and life’s challenges to pursue their goals.

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you.
I once hitched a ride on the back of a motorbike on a rural road in Nicaragua.
