About Emily C.

I am a passionate advocate for Catholic education with a strong academic foundation and a deep commitment to supporting both students and educators. I hold a BA in English and Communication from Villanova University and a Master of Education from the University of Notre Dame. Throughout my academic journey and experience teaching in Catholic schools through the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) Teaching Fellows Program, I have developed a strong belief in the mission of Catholic education. I am dedicated to building lasting partnerships with schools and working collaboratively with teachers and administrators to create supportive, enriching environments where students can thrive. My goal is to empower educators, enhance learning experiences, and contribute to the long-term success of Catholic schools.
