What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? The people; getting to work with talented people across all different departments with different skillsets than my own is immensely rewarding.
What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? I don’t know that I can pinpoint a single achievement. Like I said, the fact that I’ve influenced so much change in the technical sphere as it pertains to how people are able to go on and do other great things with new found skills and technologies is one of the most rewarding things about this job.
What does Loyola's mission mean to you? I think the proof is in the pudding. Loyola’s mission has brought all of the right people here and these are the people that make us Chicago’s Jesuit, Catholic University-a diverse community seeking God in all things and working to expand knowledge in the service of humanity through learning, justice and faith.
What motivates you to succeed each and every day? The “hard work pays off” mentality that’s been demonstrated to me by my peers. This keeps me striving to be better at what I do and keeps me motivated to find the next challenge to conquer.
Tell us how you show your Rambler pride. I think leading by example is the best way to show off my Rambler pride. I always try to exemplify the “hard work pays off” mentality for others to emulate.
Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you. I’ve got a three legged cat, I play hockey, and I’ve been hit by a car three times. I know there are people at Loyola that know at least one of those things but few know about all three.
