Heidi grew up in Germany and studied theology in Switzerland and the Netherlands before continuing her studies in journalism, secondary education, and cross-cultural training in the US. She has been in academia ever since as a student, professor, campus minister, and/or spiritual director in the Ignatian tradition. She is passionate about journeying with others as together they respond to Christ’s invitations to follow God in all areas of life, discern how to integrate their faith, studies, and work, and experience Christ’s deep, inexhaustible love and grace.

Heidi and her family have been longtime residents of Cleveland Heights. She loves learning new things, spending time outdoors, and perusing thrift stores for fabulous fashion finds.
