What I love about MAC: Students at Mount Aloysius College are not just a number or even just a name.  They are a story. They each come from somewhere and are trying to get to somewhere, and the MAC community does its best to help them get there. We encourage students to become the best versions of themselves.  I love being part of a community like this.

About Me: I grew up in central Indiana (spending my summers in Colorado) and have since lived in four states and visited thirty-four others.  I love to travel.  I love to visit new places and to hear the stories of the people I meet along the way.  For the past seven years I have worked in higher education, first in Residence Life and now in Admissions.  I love walking alongside young adults as they discover their unique gifts and find their place in the world.  When not traveling and working with college students, I spend my free time reading, singing, and spending time with friends over coffee and good food.
