I was born and raised in Connecticut, a little over an hour outside New York City. I knew I wanted to come to Franciscan University after attending the Steubenville Youth Conferences, and I graduated in 2018 with a degree in Theology and Catechetics. I spent two years teaching theology at a high school in Connecticut, while also working part time as a youth minister at a local parish. I am so blessed and grateful for these opportunities, as well as this new adventure back in Ohio! It has been such a gift being able to serve at the school which, in so many ways, has helped me to grow into the person I am today!
