The halls of Notre Dame still echo with the voices of teachers and coaches who saw in me what I couldn’t see myself. Every classroom, every road, every field holds a piece of my growth — the moments where I learned to be a Hound, to be proud, and to rise into the potential they never stopped believing I had.

When I arrived at Notre Dame at age 13, thousands of miles from home, I found a community that would shape the person I became. The friendships, values, and lessons from those years continue to guide me as an educator, leader, coach, and mother. Years later, those connections remain strong, and Notre Dame still feels like home — a place that taught me to stay grounded in my values, stay connected to others, and lead with heart.
