CHS Virtual Panels

In a typical school year Cathedral High School hosts two panels, where alumnae and working professionals impart their wisdom and offer invaluable advice to students. This year we increased the number of panels, holding four consecutive monthly online events.
Thirteen remarkable women shared stories of their educational and career trajectories. Despite vastly different personal and professional experiences similar messages were repeatedly communicated including the importance of being true to yourself, persistence, perseverance, networking, belief in one’s self, and never giving up.


January speakers included Principal’s Council member and alumna Debra Vizzi ‘81, Executive Director of Student Sponsors Partners, and alumna India Sneed ‘04 an associate at Greenberg Trauig LLP. 


February’s Black History Month panelists included Akaysha Palmer ‘18, Public Policy & International Affairs Fellowship program, Princeton University; Dr. Alma Joseph ‘66, retired Assistant Commissioner of Human Resources, State of New Jersey; Stephanie Barimah ‘07, COO Blacks on Wall Street and Senior HR Generalist at Columbia University Medical Center; Amanda Clarke ‘08, Duke University student, Doctor of Physical Therapy.


In March, the Moxie Club hosted a Women’s History Month panel. Five women from diverse backgrounds and industries shared stories about their personal and professional careers as a credit risk executive, entrepreneur, educator, lawyer, and software developer. Our thanks to Ana Medrano Fernandez, Cynthia Magaletta, Jacqueline Barimah ‘07, Amanda Erakky, and Lorraine Langdon, featured above.


The April panel featured Veronica Wulff ‘90 Senior Director of Media Operations at Sesame Workshops and Karen Kleppe Lembo, former lawyer & current Information Specialist for Cathedral’s library.
