I am excited to be of service to the St. Raymond community. To be able to serve God on a daily basis is an absolute blessing.
Here is a little about me. With over 20 years of experience in education, leadership, and coaching, I bring a dynamic and interdisciplinary approach that bridges academic excellence with professional development. My career has spanned classroom teaching, school leadership, and coaching business professionals to reach their highest potential.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Columbia College Chicago in advertising and marketing, and a Master’s degree from Columbia University’s Teachers College NYC. Hopefully, one day when God allows, I will finish my PhD.
My Catholic journey began as a child, when I was deeply inspired by my grandmother’s devotion and the beauty of church traditions. In college, I continued to attend Mass regularly and became a lector and volunteer at the church. In my adult life, I was a homebound Eucharistic minister; I watched over the adoration chapel late at night; I taught Catechism; and I was the lay director for the CRHP women’s retreat in 2025. I am learning how to FULLY BE a disciple of Jesus Christ, which makes life the ultimate adventure! I look forward to going on this journey together. May peace be upon you.
