Life in the City
Chicago is a city filled with culture, food and sports. From deep dish Chicago-style pizza to Chicago dogs, there's something for every foodie. The Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum provide day long adventure destinations. Loyalties will be tested as Chicago boasts two baseball teams, the White Sox and Cubs.

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
I said "YES" to ACE because it is a privilege to carry on the same mission that I was a beneficiary of as a product of Catholic education, namely, to make God known, loved, and served.

What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE?
In the fall I supervised a 9th grade field trip to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater to see Romeo and Juliet. It was a great day out and wonderful to see my students witness a text we had studied come to life.
