What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? My co-workers. Over the years their hard work and determination has motivated me to strive to be better.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? Transitioning to my new role in ITRS last spring and all the new opportunities it has given me to work with the entire university.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you? Being a helping hand to others in their pursuit of knowledge.

What motivates you to succeed each and every day? Working with students and teachers and knowing that by supporting them, I create an unbroken chain of people helping each other succeed.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride. I show my pride in the way I talk about Loyola. I'm proud of work I do here, and am an advocate of Loyola in my daily life.

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you. I love nature and frequently go backpacking in our national parks. For my wedding we took a train trip into Glacier National Park where we spent a week in the back country. Through a lightning storm, a bear sighting, nearly slipping off a glacier into a chasm, and the nearby park fires it was the most exciting trip I have ever been on.
