Hello, Xavier Families!

Xavier understands and appreciates the normal and natural adjustments students experience during the transformational college years. We are continually finding ways to support your student in their success while at Xavier. One the of most recent ways we are doing this is by prioritizing the most important people in their lives: YOU.

Through this commitment to you, it is my great pleasure to serve as the inaugural Director of Parent and Family Engagement. In this role, I am here to engage, educate and empower you to support your student through their time at Xavier. My past experience in higher education and my work in the Student Success Center at Xavier University have provided me a wealth of knowledge and experience to support this work.

I am truly honored and excited to work with you and to support you through your student's time at Xavier. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can be of assistance in any way!

And as always, Go X!
