Where are you from and how did you decide to come to Franciscan to study?
I was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs. I had two older sisters attend Franciscan, whom both had an awesome experience, and at the same time my oldest sister started at FUS, I attended a handful of the Summer Youth Conferences - which were amazing, despite sleeping in a massive tent with strangers, and not showering for a few days.

What did you study and what were you involved in on campus?
I majored in Communations with a minor in History and was involved with two households, AMDG & the Prodigal Sons. I did community outreach and volunteered locally with my households. I participated in the medical evangelization mission trip to Ecuador, went to Austria with the study abroad program and played club and intramural sports. I also participated in the National Flag Football tournament on behalf of the University.

What have you been doing since graduation? (professionally)
For the past fifteen years I have been working in the Finance and Commercial Banking sectors. Currently I work for FifthThird Bank in Commercial Treasury Management.

How long have you been on the Alumni Board and what have you been involved in?
I started on the Alumni Board in 2018 and have been involved with coordinating local Alumni events, as well as, participating in Student/Alumni networking days on campus.
