Katie Williams Szyman '84

I learned to love learning and to love math in high school because I had a crush on my math teacher. This love of math carried me into becoming a certified public accountant, then a finance executive, and then a corporate vice president leading a global medical technology business of almost $1 billion where we improve the lives of almost 20 million patients per year. Learn and enjoy as much as you can now. Your future is up to you!

Work hard and don't be afraid to take risks. Try, fail, learn. Have fun!

I am proud to have graduated from a Catholic High School where I was able to build a strong foundation for my faith, intellect, and character.

I was Annie Oakley in the show "Annie Get Your Gun" my senior year. I loved singing "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" and I loved being in all the plays and going to dances with my best friends.

We give to CDH to create scholarship money so more young people who need financial aid - like I did - can benefit from a CDH education.
