Short Biography:

Having been raised on the west side of Grand Rapids, I have called St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Community 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 as the communications coordinator for both our parish and school. I oversee all aspects of our communications – serving as the voice of our parish and school by relaying pertinent information to our community through the website, weekly newsletter, social media, bulletin, email, phone systems, and more. I also coordinate our school’s technology solutions.

As someone who grew up in this faith-filled community, I find it 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.
