Jesuit education has been a significant part of my life for over 20 years. A proud alumnus of Walsh Jesuit High School, I went on to John Carroll University and earned a BSBA in Marketing in 1995. After spending some time out in the corporate world, I was looking for a change and made my way back to my alma mater to work in the Office of Admission. It was here that I found my calling and passion, and I still feel the same today. Along the way I picked up my MBA in 2001 from the Boler School of Business.

I thoroughly enjoy working with high school students and helping them with one of the biggest decisions they will make – choosing the right college. On top of that, I have the privilege of talking to students about how special and unique John Carroll is. I am here to help, so please contact me with any questions.

Why did I choose JCU, and what do I love best about it? For one, nobody does education better than the Jesuits. In addition, the size of the student body, the campus atmosphere, Cleveland (go Browns, Tribe, and Cavs!), the sense of community, the strong academic focus, and the wealth of opportunities make the list.

I was very well prepared for all that life has thrown, and will throw, at me. I couldn't have asked for a better education. I was grounded in the facts, but more importantly I was taught and challenged to see the world from different perspectives, to constantly strive for excellence, and to be a leader and find ways to utilize my talents and strengths to serve my community and make this a better world.

I encourage you to come visit us. I know you won't be disappointed.
