Marie has created time and space for decades to serve God and others through ministry initiatives, retreats, conferences, and outreach work.  She walks alongside other women, attempting to balance family and day-to-day living,  questioning and searching while embracing the awareness of finding God in all things.   After years of corporate life in the wellness world, Marie encountered a hard stop that invited discernment and ultimately changed her direction to do God’s work full-time.

Today, Marie is a spiritual director through Divine Mercy University.  She works as a spiritual director at the Murphy Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Fairfield University, walking with students, athletes, and lay persons in spiritual direction.  Marie sits on the Board of Directors at the Jesuit Retreat House in Parma, OH.  She holds a degree in theology from John Carroll University.  Marie is a presenter, retreat facilitator, keynote speaker, and author of The Joy of Servant Motherhood, One Mom’s Journey. 

Marie calls Madison, CT home and lives with her husband and best friend, Chuck.  Her greatest accomplishment and title thus far is being “mom” to her adult daughter, Kate, and son-in-law Anthony, and now “Mimi” to her grandson,  Dominic.
