Author and consultant Peg Dubrowski taught in the Archdiocese of St. Louis for 25 years. Like most Catholic school teachers, her resume reflects the needs of her schools: Director of Faith Formation; Theology, Psychology, and Performing Arts teacher; Campus Minster; Middle School Advisory Coordinator.

In 2013, Dubrowski left the classroom for the world of motivational writing and speaking, targeting the nascent faith lives of the iGeneration. Her book, Following Jesus on the PATH: A Catholic Teen’s Guide to Life-Altering Faith, and accompanying program resources were published in 2015.

Whether geared toward teen, parent, or staff formation, Dubrowski's spot-on presentations offer potent building blocks for developing transformational personal faith in Jesus.

Dubrowski holds a master's in Theological Studies from Saint Louis University and a bachelor's in Religious Studies from the University of Dayton. She has also completed 40 post-graduate hours in educational counseling.

She and her husband, Vic, have truly been living happily ever after for 30 years, and are just beginning their first year as empty-nesters.

Educators Dominic Masotti and Kyle Nobbe are math teachers at DePaul Cristo Rey High School in Cincinnati. They are also graduates of the Lalanne program at the University of Dayton.

A summer service internship at Xavier University fueled Masotti's passion for urban teaching. While in Lalanne, Masotti was part of the Cleveland community and taught math at Cleveland Central Catholic High School. His love for urban teaching was validated, and he returned to Cincinnati to live with his wife. Teaching at DePaul Cristo Rey High School continues Masotti's desire to provide service in urban education.

Masotti holds a bachelor's in Mathematics from Xavier University and a master's in Mathematics Education from the University of Dayton.

For Nobbe, a love of service and a tremendous experience living in community at Ball State University led him to apply to Lalanne. The University of Dayton's Marianist charism quickly became instrumental in shaping the path of Nobbe’s career. While in Lalanne, Nobbe taught middle school math and religion in Detroit and Cleveland. Wanting to extend his Lalanne experience beyond the scope of the program, Nobbe and his wife — along with three other UD alumni — formed an intentional community in Cincinnati where Nobbe was teaching math at Roger Bacon High School. For the past five years, Nobbe has continued to serve urban Catholic schools as a math teacher at DePaul Cristo Rey High School.

Nobbe holds a bachelor's in Mathematics from Ball State University and a master's in Educational Administration from the University of Dayton.
