• E-mail: kbushner@scs.edu
I am a deeply committed Catholic professional who feels sublimely privileged to pass on the depth and profound beauty of the Catholic faith to both laity and seminarians. My multifaceted background provides a unique and engaging element to my teaching. I bring the analytics of engineering, the presentation and persuasive skills of a lawyer and theological knowledge stemming from studies at St. Charles and many years of attendance of lectures, auditing graduate courses as well as independent study. I also have a breadth of past service experiences and currently volunteer weekly at the Missionaries of Charity (Norristown, PA) in their soup kitchen.
