Entrepreneur makes her mark in Milwaukee
And free time’s not something Mara Brandli, 21, has a lot of in between the many activities she scoops onto her already full plate as a Marquette University junior.
A member of Holy Family Parish in Fond du Lac, where her parents and brother live, Brandli attends Mass and serves as a lector and extraordinary minister of holy Communion at Marquette University’s Campus Ministry or goes to Mass at Gesu Parish, Milwaukee, when she’s at school working on her undergraduate major in social and political philosophy and minors in theology and Spanish. Ultimately, Brandli would like to “grow a mindset which constantly brings our human and spiritual nature into the forefront of international communication. I envision the role of my undergraduate major as material which will build my intellectual core,” she said in an e-mail interview with MyFaith, adding that she would like to work for the Jesuit Refugee Service after earning a master’s degree in social work.
