About Me

My passion lies at the intersection of education, communication, and the Catholic faith. I desire to engage students’ minds and souls to help them be thoughtful communicators and prepare them to be leaders in the service of Truth. I have been teaching and mentoring students in strategic communication since 2008. As an educator, I strive to understand what drives each of my students to inspire them towards their goals. I am blessed to be married to my husband, Matthew for over 20 years, and for our two sons, Caden and Lance.

Why I’m At Mary

I joined the University of Mary to be part of a community seeking the True, the Good, and the Beautiful.

Expertise

My areas of expertise include strategic communication, intrapersonal and interpersonal communication, oral communication and professional presentations, business writing, managerial communication, experiential learning, consulting, curricular design, and program planning, implementation, and evaluation.
