Welcome Dr. Louise Williams, Our New Administrative Assistant

“Dr. Louise” joins our professional staff and will handle all our front desk needs. Please introduce yourself the next time you’re in!

Prior to coming to South Bend, Dr. Louise spent many years living in the Southwest including Southern California and Arizona. After landing in South Bend for graduate school, she discovered much of the magic of this city is in all the community building efforts. Inspired by this spirit of connection and collaboration, Dr. Louise decided to dedicate herself to supporting organizations that strengthen and uplift communities—a commitment she’s pursued with passion since earning her doctorate in 2021.

Beyond the bounds of South Bend, Dr. Louise also has a philosophical counseling practice which helps folks connect with the healing power of philosophy. Currently the practice is focused on teaching folks about philosophy through YouTube.

At home, Dr. Louise enjoys the company of her two curious companions: Moose, a spirited chiweenie, and Freya, a contemplative black cat. She’s excited to join the Jewish Federation, contributing her philosophical insights and organizational expertise to further its mission of creating a stronger, more connected, and compassionate community.
