What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola?
Of the many things I love, number one is the impact that the University makes on student lives daily, which gives all staff and faculty a sense of purpose in our jobs. This has helped me develop many genuine friendships over the years.

What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee?
My most memorable achievement has been serving as a mentor to some of Loyola’s incoming staff and students of color.

What does Loyola's mission mean to you?
Loyola’s mission, to me, means to serve others.

What motivates you to succeed each and every day?
My motivation is centered on faith, family, and being the best role model that I can be.

Tell us how you show your Rambler pride?
I have only been to a couple of games and I’ve lost every Loyola umbrella that I’ve ever possessed, but I appreciate this beautiful campus and I show my Rambler pride by taking my job seriously. I feel that being of positive service to others, on and off campus, shows my maroon and gold Rambler pride.

Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you.
I was on Family Feud and I am a huge sports fan.
