    Hi, my name is Alex!

    I’m currently a second-year masters candidate at Loyola in their


    Higher Education program. I received my undergraduate degree from
    Boston College (Go Eagles!) in Applied Psychology and Human
    Development. Before I attended BC, I did my first-year at Seattle
    University where I was exposed to the impact a mission driven and
    Jesuit education could have. When I decided Seattle wasn’t right for
    me, BC seemed to be the natural fit. BC was where both my parents
    went for college. It had a great psychology program, had sports and
    was somewhere that I felt that I had based my college perceptions on.
    When I was younger, my dad and I would frequent “The Heights”
    every weekend for BC football games when I was younger. When
    making my transfer decision, my family was a large factor, and an
    even greater helper in the decision-making process.

    Upon graduation in 2016, I opted to pursue Higher Education due to


    my positive experience as a Resident Assistant while at BC, and a
    passion for working with young adults. In the Higher Ed program, I
    have grown as an educator, person, advocate, and scholar. Through the
    dynamic and challenging courses that I have taken, I feel that I am
    now prepared to better engage with students, faculty and staff in any
    That’s me! (And my family) possible future work setting.
    In addition to my achievements in the classroom, I
    have spent my two years at Loyola as the Graduate
    Assistant for the International House where I helped
    oversee the community of 70 domestic and
    international students who live in the I-House. In this
    position I have assisted in the supervision of
    Graduate Student Living Assistants, managed I-
    House conduct cases, managed housing applications,
    mediated roommate conflicts and facilitated new-
    student orientation. The students and staff members
    that I have met and worked with have been
    instrumental in my experience at Loyola and in my
    growth as a higher education professional.

    When I moved out to Chicago, I didn’t do it alone; I had my then


    girlfriend now Fiancé move out with me. She’s a “real adult” since
    she works full time downtown. She has supported me, dealt with
    nights filled of readings and paper writing and even helped
    proofread some of my papers. Without her support, I wouldn’t be
    where I am today, and I wouldn’t have learned all that I learned
    throughout the program. This last semester has been an absolute
    whirlwind with the job hunt, work, academics, perfecting this e-
    portfolio and wedding planning! But, despite the craziness, I feel
    that I have used this time to find ways to seek balance in the many
    different areas of work that I do, while also keeping focus on the
    self-care and those who are important to me. I hope you have a
    good sense of who I am, and that you enjoy my e-portfolio!
