Connecting alumnae and friends with the Trinity community
Trinity Spotlight
After graduating from Trinity, Marifred Broucek Cilella ‘61 set out on her carefully laid career path into teaching. But when a once-in-a-lifetime position in the White House was offered to her during her first year teaching, she knew she had to try her hand in the world of politics. Three years later, when Marifred left politics and Washington, D.C. to begin her family, she kept a return to her career in education in her sights.  Click here to read about how Marifred’s career path evolved over the years, leading to her current position as Head of The Howard School in Atlanta.
