One of my great joys in life is working with students as they discover the things they really want to do in life. This is heightened when working with young teachers who know they want to make a difference in the lives of others.
My work-life includes opportunities to teach undergraduate courses, work with very talented graduate students through the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), and serving as Interim Director of Native American Initiatives. I’m also involved with the Better Way Foundation and St. Michael’s Indian School, as well as a regular contributor to Girls on the Run of Michiana.
I’m always available for consulting, teacher trainings, speaking and lecturing and whatever else is needed in the world.
