I was born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota and I am currently a freshman at St. John's University in Collegeville, MN. My love for Catholicism was first fostered by my mom, who showed me the joys of living as a Catholic. 

I owe much of my faith life to the Cloud of Witnesses who let God shape their lives and, in turn, changed the world. I love to read and write about Faith and justice issues, as well as participate in my city and Church communities. I'm passionate about my family, friends, Mass, deep and important conversation, history, nuns, and social justice.
