Short Biography:

Being raised on the West Side of Grand Rapids, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Community has been my home since I was three years old. I’m a proud alumnus of both St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School (’17) and West Catholic High School (’21).  I am a strong advocate for the mission of Catholic education!

I’ve been blessed to have been on staff since 2020. Although you will most likely find me in the parish office, I serve as the communications and technology coordinator for both the parish and our school. I oversee all aspects of our communications – managing the website, social media, parish bulletin, email systems, phone systems, and more. I also coordinate our technology solutions.

As someone who grew up in this faith-filled community, it’s a true blessing to now serve the families who are forming the next generation. My goal is to ensure that every family feels connected, informed, and supported as we grow together in faith and learning.
