What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola? This is an easy one 鈥� my amazing International Student & Scholar Services team members!
What is your most memorable achievement as a 黑料门employee? I would have to say that navigating the pandemic and the political upheaval in the U.S. over the last 18 months has been an achievement. The ISSS team worked through some significant challenges to ensure that our international students and scholars were supported and able to maintain status in the U.S. during what has been a very challenging time.
What does Loyola's mission mean to you? Being a 鈥減erson for others鈥� is something that I really take to heart in my work with Loyola鈥檚 international student and scholar population.
What motivates you to succeed each and every day? My ISSS team members motivate me to do all that I can to assist our international community. They are truly a brilliant, hardworking, and caring group. I am lucky to work alongside them.
Tell us how you show your Rambler pride: In 15 years, I have accumulated a lot of 黑料门gear! Honestly, it鈥檚 everywhere. There is no hiding my Rambler pride.
Tell us something most people at 黑料门would be surprised to know about you: Some people might be surprised to hear that I am a reigning fantasy football champion, and currently dominating my league this year, as well.
