What’s one highlight from your first semester of college? Gaining independence and being able to explore my own interests and career goals
What do you wish you’d known when you started college? That sometimes it’s okay to fail. We don’t always know what our journey holds for us, and sometimes those “failures” guide us to where we’re supposed to be!
What do you like about advising first and second year students? I love working with students entering college for the first time. It’s such an impactful experience, supporting these students on this journey is truly meaningful!
What’s your favorite thing about Loyola? The care and commitment throughout the entire institution. When you’re at LUC, LUC truly cares about you as a person!
What’s your favorite thing about Chicago? I love the Lake! Having such a beautiful natural resource this close to home is amazing!
What do you like to do in your spare time? As a mom of four kiddos and being enrolled in a doctoral program, I don’t have much! But when I do, I love Binge watching bad Netflix shows and reading!
