Hello! I am originally from Dallas, Texas and I graduated in May 2022 with a degree in Business Management and a minor in Theology. Additionally, I received my Masters in Business Administration from Benedictine College in 2024. During my four years of undergraduate at Benedictine College, I worked as a student ambassador welcoming families to this school. I am excited to work closely with future students and their families. I absolutely loved my time at Benedictine making lifelong friends, deepening my academic knowledge and most importantly growing in my Catholic faith. I am proud to call Benedictine College my home and will be forever grateful for all the gifts I received while as a student. I look forward to meeting you in person and welcoming you to the Raven Family!

Hello! I am originally from a small town outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I graduated in May 2024 with a degree in Theology on a Pre-Medicine Track. I attended Benedictine for three years as a transfer student and was blessed to work for the Campus Activities Board, helping plan and execute events for students! I absolutely loved my time at Benedictine making lifelong friends, growing in academic rigor, and most importantly, being in a Catholic community of like-minded people. I am beyond proud to call Benedictine College my home and am excited to help prospective students see the beauty and unique mission of this special place.

Hello! My name is Julianna Bryan, and I graduated in 2025 from Benedictine College with a major in Political Science. I was fortunate to be a member of the Constitutional Fellows, as well as participate in the Great Books Program. Initially, Benedictine was not my first choice in a college, but I had close friends who were here and spoke highly of it, so I came for a visit one chilly March Day! I knew then that it was where I was meant to be — I was being called! My time at Benedictine produced wonderful results, dear friends, great knowledge, a chance to grow, an enkindled faith, and a wealth of valuable lessons. As an Admission Counselor, it will be my privilege to share with you the amazing opportunities and gifts that Benedictine has to offer and help you come to love this place as much as I do!

Hello! I am from Phoenix, Arizona and I graduated from Benedictine College in May of 2024.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in exercise science-coaching and strength and conditioning
along with minors in theology and business administration. I am currently studying my
masters in sports industry management from Georgetown University. When I visited
Benedictine College, I was struck with the awe-inspiring beauty of the campus; the
welcoming faculty, staff, and students; and rigorous devotion to the Benedictine College
mission. As a student, I experienced transformative friendships and mentorship and an
increased devotion to Christ and Our Lady. I look forward to sharing the impact Benedictine
College had on my own life and helping students find their own transformative experience.
