Gail’s Story at SPC

Gail was hired in October of 2003 as a Secretary II in the Center for Personal Development, the position she currently holds.

What SPC Loves About Gail

Gail demonstrates a true dedication for her work and the students.  She unreservedly assists the Center in the most critical circumstances, going well beyond the boundaries of the requirements of her position.

Gail performs her duties in a very professional manner.  She is always pleasant and welcoming as she carries out her daily duties at the Center.

Gail is truly a remarkable person.  Not only does she have the office skills to get the job done efficiently and effectively, but she has the people skills that put others at ease.  She has such wisdom, well beyond her years, which helps keep us grounded so we can be more effective.  We would not be able to do what we do without her as our center.

What Gail Loves about SPC

Gail loves the atmosphere of camaraderie among staff and faculty and their willingness to help each and every student in any way they can.  She especially enjoys the ability to interact with students on a daily basis, both at the Center for Personal Development and at Student Affairs events.

Gail after Hours

Gail lives in Cranford, NJ with her husband and five children (the oldest is a student here). She teaches figure skating on the weekends and enjoys watching all of her children play ice hockey. She loves dining out, attending estate sales, entertaining friends and gardening.

Gail’s Wishes for SPC

Gail hopes to see Saint Peter’s continue to expand and grow.  She would love to see some new varsity sports added and looks forward to the new Student Center being built.
