What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola?
Every day is different.  That is a big thank you to the students, the staff and all of the campus partners that I have the pleasure of working with every day.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? 
Receiving the Rising Star Award from Student Academic Services during my first year.  It empowered me that my actions were being noticed and that I was actually making a difference with my work.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you?
Education, commitment, compassion and growth not only in the classroom or office, but in our personal lives, our human interactions, our faith and our service.

What motivates you to succeed each and every day?
I worked my first graduation event a few years ago and I got to witness several students I personally helped walk across the stage.  It puts everything into perspective about the true reason we all are here.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride.
I wear the Maroon colors often on campus, but especially off campus when I wear any Loyola gear it always gets attention or conversation from others.

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you.
I’m obsessed with superheroes.
