 Emily VAN HOORENAbout Me: Emily VAN HOORENAbout Me:I am a mom to two beautiful girls and a wife to an amazing husband. Delhi has been our home since 2015. I have always had a connection and roots in Norfolk County. Delhi is where my Grandparents and Father …immigrated to as refugees from Hungary in 1957. If there is one thing I have learned from my Grandparents, it’s the meaning and value of hard work! 
 My passion for education has always been a part of me. I spent 10+ years working in healthcare and have continued my education with courses and certificates. I have often said to friends and family that I am a forever student, so it was no surprise to them when I announced I was going to run for Catholic School Board Trustee. After having two children of my own and one being of school age, I know how important education is to us parents. I look forward to representing local parents and being an advocate for the children.
 The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1b More
