Natalia (’18 BS, ’21 MS, ’22 PhD Chemical Engineering) began her MTU career in 2014, the same year FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic Univesity Students) came to St. Al’s.
For the past eight years, Natalia has been impacted by the missionaries here. “Every time I stepped foot in St. Al’s, there was always a friendly missionary making me feel welcomed and inviting me to all sorts of activities both to meet people and to grow in my faith.”
Bible studies, discipleship, Mass, and graduate student outreach have kept Natalia connected to her faith and the St. Al’s community, as well as playing on the Michigan Tech tennis team as an undergraduate. “I grew in my faith during graduate school; praying daily, attending weekly Mass, and sharing my faith with those who surrounded me. I’ve made great friendships and have learned and grown so much in my faith and my personal life.”
In April 2022, Natalia successfully completed all educational reqirements, tests, and interviews to recieve her doctorate of Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University- Congratualtions Dr. Parra-Alvarez!!
Please pray for Natalia as she begins her work and lives her faith on the US West Coast this summer!
