A Little About Catherine…

Best at: Listening. People tend to feel comfortable opening up with me. 

Weakness: When I’m watching a movie or a TV show, I always look up the plot or the ending before I watch it. I really don’t like surprises and get scared easily. 

Obsessed with: Sports. I’m a New York Yankees Fan. I grew up watching all of their games with my dad.

What’s Your “why?” I graduated from Boston College, a Jesuit school emphasizing service and service learning. I dove into that right away. I wanted to do a year of service! It felt like a calling. My faith is what draws me to service. It's a decision I’ve never regretted. My parents have always instilled in me the desire to give back and be grateful. I feel like everyone should do service! It’s hard to explain how valuable it is until you experience it.

Favorite Hallmark: We create community among those with whom we work and with those we serve.

The Hallmarks by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are the essential characteristics, values, and activities of the NDMVA learning community.
