Mrs. Badar

Mrs. Badar graduated from the University of Notre Dame with an economics degree and a minor in business. She is proud to have navigated college as a first-generation student and credits this experience with her strong desire to uplift others with the same life-changing opportunities. Mrs. Badar left a corporate career to embark on a path in education after her two children entered elementary school in Minnesota. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, and having lived in various cities across the US, she values the diversity of perspectives and priorities people acquire and enjoys assisting students in their college pursuits using their own unique values and lens. With a UCLA college counseling certification, insight as a parent and registrar,  and over 25 years working in Catholic education, Mrs. Badar relishes the growth she’s witnessed in the hundreds of students she's supported over the years. When not at work, she is likely whipping up a home-cooked meal or baked good, contributing to service or the community, or running to best her Applewatch stats. In her downtime she loves walking her pup Picasso, reading, puzzles of all sorts, or heated board game competitions with family and friends.
