Ali is, first and foremost, the proud Mom of four Pelican graduates (’16, ’18, ’21, and ’23). She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in American politics from The Catholic University of America, where she also dove for the swim team. After college, Ali started her career as an event/wedding planner, which comes in handy during our admission events! In 2012, Ali and her family moved to the Island and in 2014 she joined the Loomis admission team. That same year, the Murphy family moved into the then brand-new Richmond Hall, where Ali served as beloved dorm head for three years, dorm resident for another four and currently is an affiliate doing duty on Wednesday nights. She now lives a quarter of a mile down the road into a faculty house which is walking distance to one of her favorite places on campus — the Savage/Johnson hockey rink. Some of her favorite memories have been in the “Sav,” whether running the game clock, playing broom ball with colleagues, cheering on the boys and girls teams, or screaming with the fans as Larry the Lobster is slid onto the ice during the boys hockey team’s last home game of the season. Ali is the head varsity diving coach at Loomis, as well as girls thirds lacrosse.
