Education Background
Before coming to Bellarmine, I graduated Cum Laude in 2007 from the University of Washington in Seattle. While there I received my Bachelor of Arts in Honors History and had the privilege of working closely with my professors to perform research in the field of Christianity in American History. During my college years I got to spend a summer in Venezuela with Campus Crusade for Christ and worked part time as a barista at Starbucks – where I honed my love for a good cup of coffee.
Personal Bio
I grew up in Spokane, Washington, and spent my childhood camping in the Bitterroot Range of the Rocky Mountains. It has been my pleasure to call Louisville home since my husband and I moved here in the summer of ’07. In my spare time I love to cook, read, swim laps, swing dance and hang out with my husband, family and friends.
Favorite things about Bellarmine
I love the open and welcoming community at Bellarmine. The university boasts an intimate liberal arts education with the opportunities usually available only at large universities, setting it apart from many other institutions in our region. And BU is happily situated in Louisville, a busy metropolis that offers everything from a bustling arts scene to quirky restaurants and beautiful parks.
The Right Fit!
The best way to discover whether or not a college will meet your expectations is to make a visit to campus! You’ll know if you can see yourself at a school after you’ve visited classrooms, dorms, libraries and had the opportunity to ask questions of current students and staff. So I encourage you to visit Bellarmine’s beautiful campus and see if BU is truly the right fit for you!
