Ginger has stated that this drive to overcome our fears through a constant commitment to faith began when she was a student at Mount Saint Dominic Academy in Caldwell. She recalls always being encouraged to succeed even though she had learning disabilities. The seed of the Dominican charism was firmly planted in her early years which made a natural flow of events leading to her becoming an associate. Dr. Ginger uses her experience in Dominican principles in her work and daily activities. Dr. Ginger’s approach remains consistent in faith and the ability to be lighthearted. The core of Dr. Ginger is best stated in her own words, “God gave us power, big power! We need to use it! Then everyday deeds will make miracles!”
