Meet your Admission CounselorYour point of contact for all things Benedictine College.

Greeting: Hi there! I sincerely welcome you to one of the most formative places that I get to call home, Benedictine College. As a graduate from the Class of 2019, I am seeing the fruits of my four years of formation.

You are undeniably looking at a special place. From the people you meet, the professors, to the faith life and the beautiful campus- there is no a place quite like Benedictine. Retrospectively, once I chose to become a Raven, this paved the way for catalyzing relationships, extra-curricular involvement, life-changing experiences and spiritual growth. My time at Benedictine transformed who I am, not only as a student but as an individual. It is my privilege to be able to invite you here to this place I call home. And hopefully, soon, our home!

Greeting: As a graduate from the Class of 2018, I can attest to the great impact that a Benedictine College education has had on my life. This community has challenged me to become the best version of myself, all while deepening friendships and growth in my faith.

During my four years, I was a Raven Orientation Camp Leader as well a Student Ambassador. I was also fortunate to study abroad in Italy and become an active member in the theatre department, allowing me to gain leadership experiences and my love for the arts. Benedictine College allows students to have a unique college experience, and I am excited to have the opportunity to share this community with you!

Greeting: Hello! I am a graduate from the Class of 2017 and I am so excited to be working for my alma mater! As soon as I first set foot on campus, I knew this was the place I wanted to call home for the next four years (and now even more)!

Over the course of my time at Benedictine, I grew in countless ways. I grew in the classroom where I was challenged by my professors to excel—not only in my schoolwork but also in my faith, friendships and as an individual. I grew in my leadership abilities as I held leadership roles and worked closely with Benedictine faculty and staff members. Benedictine College is a place that I will always call home. I look forward to helping future Ravens call this place their new home as well.

Greeting: Hi everyone! I could not be more excited to be working for the school that gave me so much over my four years. My time at Benedictine College provided me with lifelong relationships and I pursued two degrees in fields that I was earnest about.

In the summer of 2013, I lived in Germany with a host family and this is when my desire to travel and learn internationally took flight. One of the most memorable semesters at Benedictine was studying abroad in Florence, Italy. This allowed me to live and learn in a country rich with history and deep-rooted culture. I am so excited to work with Benedictine College’s international students and hope to teach them about the place I call home, and in return am hoping to learn about the places that they call home.

Greeting: On the way home from my first visit to Benedictine College, I told my parents I could picture myself at Benedictine. As I look back over the 20+ years since graduation, I recognize that my four years at Benedictine were extremely influential and I am so grateful. I met my husband, formed lasting friendships, grew in my faith, and benefitted from the academic and personal formation I received from faculty, staff, and fellow students.

As my husband and I homeschooled our daughter from kindergarten through high school, I have a natural passion for connecting homeschool students and their families to my alma mater! Benedictine’s mission of building a community of faith and scholarship makes it a great place to build upon the work that families are doing to prepare their students to pursue truth, grow in love for their faith, and glorify God in all things. I invite you to come visit campus, and see if you can picture yourself at Benedictine.

Greeting: Hi! I am a graduate from the Class of 2013 and am so grateful to be a member of the Office of Admission. After an intense college search, looking at upwards of 20 schools, and never getting “that feeling,” I visited Benedictine College. That visit, late in my senior year, was the best visit I could have made.

Benedictine gave me the experience of a lifetime. I made incredible friends and created countless memories that I will carry with me forever. Aside from the incredible education I received, my time at Benedictine gave me the opportunity to explore and jump outside of my comfort zone into incredible adventures. I am so excited to share my experiences with future Ravens and help them fall in love with a place that I love so much!
