Other Interests: Playing violin and piano, traveling, reading, swimming, and watching all types of performing arts. I love to learn new things and meet guests who visit the monastery.

What attracted me to this community: When I visited the monastery, I was moved by how much the sisters cared about each other. I was also delighted to find such a variety of personalities and opportunities for ministry. The Benedictine values of prayer, work, and community living were attractive to me and so, in dialogue with the sisters, I decided to enter and try out the way of life.
