I am originally from the Chicago area, but grew up on the East Coast. I graduated from Christendom College and spent two years studying at Mt. St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD. I taught for a year in Lafayette, Louisiana and then studied for an additional three and a half years in Rome while discerning a vocation. From there I spent seven years working on the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange. I moved to Naples, FL in the summer of 2005 in order to be near family. I consider it a privilege to be working for such a great University dedicated to Our Blessed Mother. More.

In July of 2005, I moved to Naples, FL and began working at Ave Maria University as a Residence Director. My experience in Student Life has helped me understand the mission of Ave Maria University more profoundly as I have seen it lived out in the students each day. I decided to begin working in the Office of Admissions in order to help young adults discern God's plan for their lives as they prepare to enter their college years. More.

I was born and raised in Southwest Florida. I am an alumni of Ave Maria College ('04) with a double major in Literature and Theology. After graduation, I spent a year working at Ave Maria University as a Residence Director, followed by 2 years working at The Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce as Publications Director and editor of Business Currents magazine. I joined the Admissions team in July 2007 and soon after bought a house in Ave Maria Town with my husband. I love the atmosphere here at Ave Maria and look forward to sharing my experiences with prospective students. More.

I graduated in May 2007 from Ave Maria University with a B.A. in Politics. As an Admissions Counselor, I can offer personal insight into what life is like for a student here at Ave Maria University. I came to Ave Maria from a different college, so I can also offer my experience as a transfer student. When I graduated from Ave Maria University, I discovered that I received exactly what I came for: an excellent education coupled with an orthodox faith. More.
