As the Director of Experiential Learning at Loyola’s Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health I collaborate with students, faculty, and community partners to create high-quality, mission-driven learning experiences that prepare our students for meaningful careers.

My love story with experiential learning began in my own undergraduate years when I was - unknowingly at the time - enrolled in a project-based learning course my first semester. From there, experiential learning became the cornerstone of my academic journey: I engaged in academic service learning, did an internship, completed an independent study, wrote a thesis, studied abroad in Italy, did a study-away program in Washington, D.C., and conducted research in two departments. Those experiences shaped not only my education, but the way I understand student development, confidence-building, and professional formation.

Outside of work, I dabble in wheel-thrown pottery, woodworking, exploring Chicagoland with my husband, and spending time with our dog, Jeffrey.
