I am passionate about Catholic Education because I believe that a strong foundation of a person is rooted in their faith and values. Catholic education allows a student to develop this foundation and grow into a loving and confident individual.

Being a LEAD Fellow gives me the confidence needed to continue to grow myself professionally. I feel honored and humbled to be able to learn from other professionals in my area.

Pope Francis is a spiritual figure who inspires me daily. This may seem like a common or obvious choice but it is the truth. For me, Pope Francis shows us all what it means to be a true Christian who puts love above all else.
