What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? Meeting with students each day – I really am so impressed with our students, and I love providing them with the knowledge and support they need to succeed in their job or internship searches. I especially love sharing information that I know will help students not only now, but throughout their entire professional career.  

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? Hosting 2 Zoom resume workshops in February 2022 – I had 118 students join me over 2 evenings! It was such a great opportunity to help students understand the importance of a great resume, and how to create one that will get results.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you? It means being thoughtful and generous in supporting our students, faculty and staff here at Loyola University Chicago, and to always be thinking about how we can improve and make things better. 

What motivates you to succeed each and every day? The messages I receive from students sharing their successes – I absolutely love seeing the work we do together helping them achieve their goals!  

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride: By wearing my Loyola Ramblers sweatshirt I got during my first month at Loyola – it’s my favorite! 

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you: I worked in advertising sales and sales leadership roles for 29 years before pivoting to career coaching. Oh…and I studied improv at Second City many moons ago.
