My husband Robert and I have been parishioners of St. Albert the Great Parish since 2007 and have four children: Katherine (20), Robert (17), Charles (14) and Matthew (11).  The boys attend St. Ignatius High School and Incarnate Word Academy.  Robert and I have been active leaders in the Scouting program at St. Albert’s which supports many parish ministries.  I am also a Eucharistic Minister and provide STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) programming throughout the community as a member of the American Chemical Society.  I received a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Scranton and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.  Throughout my career, I have held various positions in research and development and teaching in the field of chemistry, and I currently hold a leadership role in Innovation Management at The Lubrizol Corporation.  As a member of the Parish Pastoral Council, I am looking forward to growing in faith by deepening my relationship with the parishioners of St. Albert’s, and together with the Holy Spirit, I am excited to discover new ways to further build and strengthen our community of faith!
