What drew you to Washington, D.C. and Catholic U?
I grew up here in the D.C. area and my grandfather, my parents, my aunt, and my brother all went to Catholic University ahead of me - they laid the path. And now I am honored and humbled to serve as the newest Dean of Undergraduate Admission at our alma mater and a cherished family legacy. As a proud third-generation Cardinal with seven siblings who are also alumni, Catholic University holds a very special place in my heart. I’m excited to lead efforts to welcome the next generation of students to our vibrant, mission-driven community. I look forward to collaborating with the incredible recruitment team in Admissions and our amazing campus partners.
