While I have had different professional experiences they have all come together in the work I do now. As Director of the Psychology Program at Madonna University, I have the opportunity to use leadership and administrative skills developed over the years while also indulging my passion for continued learning and teaching. I am also able to pursue my other professional passion as a counselor and consultant. In that role, I listen and learn about the challenges faced by courageous, creative people who want to redirect the course of their lives. Together we search for strategies that will help each person cope and change.

Gardening, enjoying music and relaxing with family and friends round out my life and give me perspective on what is important in life.
