About Me
I serve as director of operations of the University of Mary's Arizona programs, which include partnerships with Arizona State University, Nazareth Seminary, and the Diocese of Phoenix at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I directly oversee Mary College at ASU, our undergraduate campus in Tempe, where I teach courses in Catholic Studies, lead an annual Rome study pilgrimage, and work closely with Mary students, ASU students, and seminarians throughout their undergraduate careers.
Why I’m At MaryI'm at Mary because I believe deeply in the ability of an integrated Catholic education to change lives.
Expertise
My teaching focuses on the interplay of religion, culture, and education in both historical and contemporary contexts. I am particularly interested in the history and culture of the city of Rome, the development of Western civilization, and the influence of classical and Christian traditions on modern culture.
