This spring served as a time of reflection and self-discovery for Ursuline, a hallmark of the Merici Model of Education. The journey allowed our school community the opportunity to identify what we are doing well and define areas for improvement. As a graduate I believe wholeheartedly in the mission of Ursuline Academy and am honored to play a role in positively impacting the experience of the next generation of Ursuline women. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to lead Ursuline as Interim President and look forward to partnering with the Board of Trustees, Ms. Rojas and the entire Ursuline community to ensure this period of transition is a time of growth for UA.
