As the hustle and bustle that accompanies the holiday season is quickly approaching, let me take a moment to extend my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your support of Marian University and the students we serve. As a graduate and beneficiary of the Marian experience, it is an honor and a privilege to serve in the role of Vice President for Institutional Partnerships and Interim Vice President for Advancement. I have been blessed by the opportunity to meet, engage, and be inspired by so many of you over the last quarter of a century. It is with passion and purpose that I pledge to help advance the legacy and mission under which we were founded by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes over eight decades ago.

On behalf of Marian’s students and alumni, let me thank you again for your support and generosity. Should you wish to connect with me personally, please don’t hesitate to contact me via phone (920.923.7652) or email.
