Started at Notre Dame: 
August 2023

Education:
BA in Finance and MBA from DePaul University

Additional certifications:
I have been in an assistant teacher role going on four years. I have worked in both public and Catholic elementary schools.  I love connecting with students, seeing them smile and grow in confidence in their skills. 

Family highlights:
Married with two daughters: graduate of Univ. of IL and and an EMT studying for her Radiology degree. I was happy to have both daughters attend parochial elementary and high schools.

The impact of faith:
My faith is such a big part of who I am. That is why it means so much to be able to pass this on to the students here at Notre Dame and be able to watch them grow academically, socially and spiritually.

Free times and pastimes:
Family time is the best way to spend my free time. We love to get together over dinner, cards, travel, campfires and pickleball. We spend time sharing, talking, joking and laughing about so many fun memories. I like sports, especially swimming, and spending time reading. I also enjoy being outdoors gardening or going for walks with the dog.

Favorite quote/philosophy:
“I shall pass this way but once. Any good that I can do or kindness that I can show, let me not hesitate for I shall not pass this way again.”
    - Stephen Grellet

Just a note…
I am a lifelong Catholic, a lifelong learner and a member of the Legion of Mary.
