How do you like to spend your time when you're not working with SMFPI? Where do you work?

I am an attorney with a practice focused on representing parents of children with disabilities. I manage the Cuddy Law Firm in Auburn, NY.



How long have you been involved with SMFPI?

I started going to the Eucharistic Adoration at Sursum Corda about a year ago, and Deacon Mike asked me to join the board about six months ago.



Is there anything else you would like to share?

As Catholics, we’re called to grow both in numbers and in faith—through the gift of life and the formation offered by Catholic education. I believe Restore has the potential to contribute meaningfully to that long-term vision.

What inspired you to join the board of St. Michael’s Family Protection Institute?

After stepping down from another board due to a shift in values, I was honored when Deacon Mike invited me to join the SMFPI board. The opportunity to contribute to launching Restore, a mission so closely aligned with my own beliefs, came at exactly the right time



What are the biggest challenges facing families in Rochester, and how is SMFPI addressing them?

As society drifts from the foundational purpose of marriage—reflected in lower birth rates, rising divorce, and fertility struggles—I admire Restore’s commitment to Catholic-aligned care that prioritizes strong, healthy families and relationships.
