Maria Candelaria

Maria joined the Walsh community in July 2010, and is dedicated to welcoming all students and serving as a source of support no matter what challenges they may be facing. A 2005 graduate from the University of Notre Dame, Maria has a heart for service and spent her first year out of college volunteering with the homeless community in downtown Phoenix. She then worked for a number of years in Campus Ministry at Gannon University. She is thrilled to be working with the students at Walsh!

"Walsh is truly an institution that lives its mission and I could not be more blessed to join the community. The journey of a student from Freshmen to Senior year is one of self-discovery, adventure, and knowledge of God, self and others. I am whole-heartedly committed to the students on this journey and will serve them with enthusiasm and compassion! "
