As a spiritual director, trained in the traditions of St. Ignatius of Loyola,  it is my privilege to journey with others, always on the lookout for the ways God is present and moving in our lives.

Professionally,  my experience begins and ends in Catholic education.   My first career-oriented job was at St. Louis Catholic High School in Lake Charles where I taught freshmen theology and coached girls’ basketball. When my children entered elementary school, I transferred to teach where they were in school, Our Lady Queen of Heaven.  We relocated to Mobile, Alabama and in time, both of our children would choose to study at Spring Hill College.  It wasn’t long before we were, once again,  back on campus together! I took a position at Spring Hill, working for Fr. Christopher Viscardi, SJ and Fr. Gregg Lucey, SJ.  In these men, and their Jesuit brothers, I observed a beautifully lived example of  Ignatian Spirituality.  With their encouragement and support, I completed the Certificate of Spiritual Direction at Spring Hill College.

I  have worked in many different areas within the church including, ministering at  Mobile County Metro Jail,  serving as prefect of the Ignatian Branch of the Sodality of Spring Hill College, participating with other couples in the Domestic Church Movement and various other faith formation initiatives.  Serving on retreat teams, in particular as a spiritual companion on A.C.T.S. retreats, affirmed my desire to become a spiritual director.

My husband and I live in Mobile, Alabama but spend considerable time in Louisiana where our two adult children and two grandchildren live.
