My 12 years of Catholic education, including my 4 years at Rosary, and the strong faith example of my parents, has had a lasting impact on my life. I think the most important lesson I learned is to live your faith by treating others kindly and with compassion. The great thing about Rosary is that most of my classmates were down-to-earth people with good values, a strong work ethic, and good humored.
Early in my career, I taught in Catholic grade schools in low-income neighborhoods. As a fundraising consultant, I have worked with Cardinal Ritter College Prep and the Today and Tomorrow Educational Foundation, which raises money to help students with limited resources attend Catholic schools. These kids receive a high-quality, faith-based education that is transformative.
I believe that education is a true equalizer. I am grateful that Trinity continues to offer kids a Catholic education and an opportunity for a bright future.
