A spotlight section intended to grow connections at Notre Dame

Name: Anna Ortega-Shyne
Title: Program Assistant, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies
How do you maintain work-life balance?: As a member of the Kroc team, work-life balance is very important, especially since I am also a teacher, author, and business entrepreneur. I have learned through the years to set boundaries between work and personal life, but allow flexibility as needed between both. I enjoy the precious downtime that I have with my family and am always available for them but also enjoy working with the project and supporting my team. I appreciate the opportunity to make a difference! As a part of my personal and professional life, I am committed to doing my best and being "all in" in all that I do. 
Grow your connections at Notre Dame and help others get to know you! Simply complete this form and we will feature you in an upcoming issue and on our website!
