Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE? 

My Catholic education is the greatest gift I have ever received: it challenged me academically, morally, and socially to ultimately become a woman for others. I feel I have a responsibility to give that back to students. For me, that is service through ACE. I can use my own education, my leadership and community experiences to form students and continue to be formed myself within Christ-centered community.
