Group bio

“Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.”  ~G. K. Chesterton
Lovingly called “The Inklings,” after the writers’ club of which C. S. Lewis and Tolkien were members, we are a deep-thinking, truth-seeking group who turns to the Saints and other Christian authors to help unlock the beautiful Mysteries of God and our Faith. Food is always a must at meetings, and we do service work around Indy and fun social activities on the weekends!

I grew up in Greencastle, Indiana, just down the street from DePauw University. My dad sparked my love for Christ and the Catholic faith – his words “Offer it up!” still ring in my ears – but the Catholic community was very small in town at the time. It wasn’t until I attended Purdue that I discovered the Catholic Church is GIGANTIC, and there are SO MANY people my age who are on fire for God! I graduated from Purdue with a degree in Biomedical Engineering, and am now working at Roche Diabetes Care, Inc. here in Indianapolis. I am a runner (when not stopping to take photos), and I enjoy painting, sketching, hiking, and reading in my free time. Oh, and my two cats are named Patrick and Brigid.

I’m a transplant from Traverse City, Michigan. I’ve lived here for 3.5 years working as a nanny for a family in Carmel with two boys.
I attended St. Mary’s College (sister school to Notre Dame) and studied English Literature.
I love reading and writing and talking about God with our group.
I hope to meet you soon!
