About Me
I am a former Catholic elementary school principal who has served students, families, and teachers for the last 20-plus years. At the University of Mary, I am the coordinator of enrollment, grants, and partnerships in the realm of education. I love helping prospective students find the right degree fit in education and working with school districts and the diocese on how the University of Mary can help fill their needs. I feel blessed to continue working for a Catholic institution like the University of Mary and their Benedictine values.
Why I’m At MaryAfter a college visit with my oldest daughter, I said to my wife that I could see myself working for the University of Mary. Years passed, and then an opportunity presented itself, and I decided to make the switch. The University of Mary has always stayed true to its benedictine values, and going through the hiring process, I appreciated the focus on that. Now, being a part of the University of Mary community, I feel like I have been working here my whole life. The Univesity of Mary’s sense of community is strong, and I look forward to the years to come.
