Hello! I am originally from Dallas, Texas and I graduated in May 2022 with a degree in Business Management. During my four years of undergraduate at Benedictine College, I worked as a student ambassador welcoming families to this school. I am excited for this new role of working more 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 visited Benedictine College on my very first college visit in 2017, and I knew that I wanted to call it home for the next four years. During my time at Benedictine, I played alto saxophone and oboe in the Raven Regiment and Benedictine Bands. I graduated from Benedictine College in 2022 with a degree in Art and Minors in Music and Theology. Following graduation, I continued to live in Atchison and work as an oil painter until I decided I wanted to work directly with students as an Admission Counselor.
I am grateful for the foundation that was built during my time at Benedictine while developing relationships and pursuing education. I believe it has prepared me to serve the people around me with an open and patient heart. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to Benedictine!

Hello! I am so happy you are here! I graduated from Benedictine in May of 2024, with a degree in Exercise Science and minors in Biology and Chemistry. I couldn’t say goodbye immediately, so I worked for the Alumni Office for a month after graduation. I still couldn’t say goodbye, so I took this job in the Office of Admission, and I am so excited to walk this journey with you! I love this school with my whole heart, and I am forever grateful for the people, experiences, and formation that I received here. One of my favorite things about my time at Benedictine was getting to meet and help introduce new students to this place we all get to call home. I am so excited to now introduce you to our home!

Hello! I graduated from Benedictine College in May of 2024 and received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Theology with a minor in Spanish. I was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico and moved to Texas in 2014. When the time came for me to choose where to attend college, I fell in love with Benedictine College from the moment I first visited it. I was very impressed with what the college had to offer, particularly in the areas that align with the mission of the college: community, faith, and scholarship. My college experience reassured me that I would not have wanted to go to college anywhere else as it was a great time of growth for me. During my time here, I was involved with several organizations, clubs, and departments, including being a Student Ambassador for the Office of Admission. Now, as an Admission Counselor, I am excited to be able to work with prospective students and families as they learn about and hopefully come to love Benedictine College too!

Hello! I am from Los Angeles, California, and I graduated May 2024 with a degree in Theology. My time at Benedictine College has been truly transformative, enriching my academic journey, deepening my friendships, and strengthening my faith. During my time here, I had the privilege of volunteering with ministry and serving as a resident assistant for three years in freshmen women’s halls. These experiences have deeply shaped my love for the community. I am thrilled to continue my journey with Benedictine College by working with incoming students. I look forward to sharing the joy and impact this place has had on my life and helping new students experience the same positive transformation. I cannot wait to welcome you to the Raven family in person!
