Leadership Team
Ruvianne (Ruvi) is a Bay Area native hailing from Vallejo, CA. Only meeting the Dominicans when she went to graduate school with them at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (2021-2024), she now joins them on the front lines to praise, to bless, and to preach for the salvation of souls. Her main mode for serving the Lord is through teaching high school theology at Marin Catholic High School in Marin County. When not teaching, her hobbies include sewing, drawing, singing songs, playing the guitar, and reading works on the virtues by her favorite people: St. Albert the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Catherine of Siena.
