In younger days: mother, homeschooler, activist for family and life issues on Capitol Hill, and helpmeet to my husband William who was a founder of Christendom College. Now I am delving deep into Gaelic culture, Gaeilge (the Irish language), and Catholicism in Ireland. In 2022 I received a Master of Arts in Gaelic Literature from University College Cork (Ireland). My forthcoming book from Sophia Institute Press: Monastery and High Cross: The Forgotten Eastern Roots of Irish Christianity, combines my two deepest interests: Ireland and the Eastern Church (I'm a Melkite Greek Catholic).
