What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? As an alumna, it's fun to be able to relate to the students while now seeing the other side of operations too. It feels a little like being behind the scenes, plus I have a lot of great memories around campus.
What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee? I started working here right at the start of what quickly became a very crazy 2020, so I'd say reaching the one-year mark felt pretty big to me.
What does Loyola's mission mean to you? Loyola's mission resonates with me because it encourages people to look beyond themselves and act in ways that will create positive impacts for others.
What motivates you to succeed each and every day? I work with a great group of co-workers, so I'm motivated to do what I can to try to make their lives easier where I can. The same goes for working with students - I always aim to foster positive interactions and help them along.
Tell us how you show your Rambler pride: I still have lots of LUC gear from my undergrad and the collection continues to grow. Gotta love that bookstore discount!
Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you: I was a center on LUC's Women's Ice Hockey team during my undergrad.
