Why did you say "yes" to serving as a Catholic school educator through ACE Teaching Fellows?

I did not attend Catholic school growing up, but my time as an undergraduate at Notre Dame taught me the importance of God’s presence in a holistic education. As a Catholic school teacher, I will help my students grow academically and spiritually to become models in the classroom and models of faith.

How do you hope to grow in your experience as an ACE teacher?

The greatest growth comes from pairing great adversity with great support. I know that ACE is going to kick my butt (and brain, sleep schedule, and comfort zone). However, I embark on this challenge knowing that it will be worthwhile. How do I know? Because I'm going to go through it with amazing training, people, and an amazing God! Through ACE, I hope to grow my skills, my relationships, and my faith. Let's go!

What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE Teaching Fellows?

My students and I livestreamed the conclave and watched Pope Leo XIV be elected. When he came out, we all jumped and cheered with joy and excitement.
