Impact of Faith

Born and raised in a Catholic family on Chicago’s Southside and as the daughter of a school teacher, I understood at a very early age the cornerstone importance of a faith-based upbringing. My parents made many sacrifices to insure my siblings and I could attend Catholic elementary and high schools. Following in their footsteps I realize how fortunate I am.

Free times and pastimes

Founded Kids First at Notre Dame Church, enjoying long walks with my energetic dog, and I love family time and being outdoors
