She has been featured on numerous television, print and radio programs including Life Site News, EWTN’s Life on the Rock, The Wanderer, The National Catholic Register, Townhall Magazine, and Foundation Life. She is a graduate of Wilmington University with a degree in Television and Journalism. She works as a full-time teacher and also travels as a pro-life and chastity speaker.
She spoke at over 300 events, ranging from nursing homes and veteran hospitals, to schools, churches and health clinics. While working as a spokesperson for various organizations such as the Delaware Safety Council and Wilmington University, she worked in the fashion industry. After modeling for various organizations, she began to recognize the need for role models of modesty and chastity through dress and action.
