I serve the Saint Patrick Catholic Community as Director of Information Technology and Director and Conductor of the Parish Festival Choir. In many ways, these roles bring together the areas that have shaped much of my professional and ministerial life: technology, music, education, and service to the Church.
I hold a Bachelor of Music Education in Instrumental and Voice, have continued my studies in psychology, and most recently began pursuing a Master’s in Conducting. Music has been a lifelong passion, opening the door to opportunities to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City, throughout Ireland and Rome, and at St. Peter’s Basilica for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord with Pope Francis. I have also toured with both the Boston Crusaders and The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps as a member of their tour administration teams.
At Saint Patrick, my work in technology and music may look very different on the surface, but both are ultimately centered on supporting people and the life of the community. As Director of Information Technology, I oversee the systems that support the daily work of our campus, from instructional technology to infrastructure and cybersecurity. As Director and Conductor of the Parish Festival Choir, I have the opportunity to return more fully to a part of my life that has always been deeply meaningful to me.
I believe sacred music should do more than simply fill a space in the liturgy. It should help us pray, proclaim our faith, and draw the parish more deeply into worship together. My hope is to honor the musical tradition of Saint Patrick while continuing to foster a ministry where musicians can share their gifts in service to God and to one another.
Beyond Saint Patrick, I serve as Chapter Director for the Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians. In 2026, I was a featured presenter at NPM’s 48th Annual National Convention at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
I am grateful that Saint Patrick has given me the opportunity to bring so many different parts of my life together in one place. Whether through technology, music, education, or ministry, my hope is to support the mission of our Church and School and the people who make Saint Patrick home.
