Hi! I am originally from north central New Jersey. I studied music and French at St Joseph's University in Philadelphia, and did my masters in Sacred Music at Westminster Choir College where I was able to cultivate my craft as a musician and grow my love of sacred music. I had the tremendous opportunity to study music (in French) at the Ecole Normale de Musique and the Scola Cantorum, both in Paris France (my favorite city in the world).
Prior to coming to UD, I lived in Williamsburg, Virginia where I worked at a large Catholic parish. At UD, I serve as the CM for music ministry and direct the UGGM(undergraduate music minister) program. I believe that liturgical music ministry is something that can truly shape a student's college experience. Being a music minister is incredibly rewarding and allows you to be able to experience the Mass from a new vantage point. As a musician, I find sharing my talents at Mass incredibly rewarding and hope students will as well!
