I am an Area Coordinator and adjunct instructor in the Theology/Religious Studies Department at St. Norbert College. I help coordinate the residential service program for sophomores, juniors, and seniors at the college. I teach THRS 117 (Theological Foundations), the introductory theology course required for (mainly first-year) students at St. Norbert College. Interacting with students and helping them succeed in both of my roles at the college is a joy and an honor.
My research interests include the history of the Norbertine Order in the United States, the development of Christianity in Spain and its colonies, the intersection between library science and theology, and the confluence of these fields with modern movements of social justice. My academic work is grounded in and informed by everyday questions, hopes, and challenges. I strive to continue learning from, accompanying, and empowering marginalized communities to contribute to communal memory and human flourishing.
I enjoy bad puns, good theatre, and great books. In my free time, you can find me participating in OUT|LOUD@SNC Parish, listening to Wisconsin Public Radio or National Public Radio, or scouring the state for the best ice cream (Scoop DeVille in Hartford is my current favorite).
