When I entered St. John’s University in 2005, I was first introduced to the Vincentian charism – and I’ll never be the same! I joined the Vincentian Lay Missionaries in 2008 to teach English in Ethiopia, and after graduating from STJ in 2009 with a Bachelors in Education and minor in Theology, I joined the Gateway Vincentian Volunteer program in St. Louis, MO. My husband and I now live in San Francisco, CA, and I serve as the Coordinator of Vincentian Educator Formation for the Daughters of Charity Province of the West. I am also blessed to once again be part of the VLM 2011 group heading to Kenya this summer! I am interested in networking about lay formation programs, provincial networking, and education.
