Originally from Dayton, OH, I joined the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati in 2015 and professed my final vows in 2023. During my formation with the Sisters, I had a variety of ministerial experiences in the El Paso-Juarez region, and then most recently served as the Housing & Volunteer Coordinator at Working In Neighborhoods (WIN), a community development corporation in Cincinnati. I’ve also been a parishioner at Bellarmine Chapel since 2020 and have been actively involved in many of its social mission ministries. Now, I look forward to expanding the social mission activities at St. Xavier and creating more opportunities to accompany and assist our marginalized brothers and sisters. It is my hope that in collaboration with parishioners and community partners, St. Xavier will embody the culture of encounter to which Pope Francis calls us.

As Associate Director of Social Mission, I integrate the Inward Reflection and Outward Action of our parish motto by engaging parishioners in meaningful ways of putting faith into action and assisting our priests in providing pastoral care through works of mercy. Working with the St. Xavier Social Mission Leadership Team, I coordinate outreach collections and service opportunities with our partner organizations, plan educational initiatives and prayer experiences around the themes of Catholic Social Teaching, and organize ministry teams and discussion groups around a variety of social justice issues. I also manage our Visitation Ministry, help with funeral planning, and support other efforts to accompany parishioners through challenging times.
