Bio
I joined the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration in 2006 after earning a bachelor’s degree in theology. As a Sister, I served as a high school theology teacher and assisted in our vocations office. I later earned a master’s in philosophy and a doctoral degree in educational administration, with a focus on higher education leadership. Following my studies, I was appointed Vice President for Catholic Culture and Student Life at Saint Francis.
In my current role, I live the Gospel by supporting the university’s mission and working closely with students in academic support programs, athletics, student leadership, and campus ministry. My goal is to help all students thrive and flourish.
