What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? The people. I’m lucky enough to work with a wide range of diverse people that always have the main interest of the students in mind through the good and bad times.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? My most memorable achievement would be receiving the Rising Star Award during my first year of employment. It helped motivate me that my hard work was being noticed. It encouraged me to keep working even harder and pushing myself even greater.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you? Compassion, empathy, support, empowerment, self-care. I think these qualities resonate for me throughout my time here.

What motivates you to succeed each and every day? Student success. I luckily have been here long enough to see students that I’ve met in the beginning of their educational journey graduate and move forward to the next stages of their lives. The end goal makes the journey all worth it.

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you: I’m not a fan of chocolate.
