Noreen Murphy joined Bexley Seabury Seminary in November 2025 as Bursar and Accounting Clerk. She manages accounts payable and student fees, helping ensure that the Seminary’s financial processes run smoothly and that students have the support they need when navigating the financial aspects of their theological education.

Noreen holds an MBA in Finance and Behavioral Decision Making from the University of Chicago and a BA in Independent Study, Computer Science, and Business from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Her professional experience spans finance, business operations, project management, and education.
