A convert to Catholicism and Lay Dominican, Rose brings more than 30 years of study—and wrestling with the distractions of her own prayer life—to her coaching and writing. Previously, she owned a successful calligraphy studio in the Washington, D.C., area and later served as director of a White House office. She's written place cards for kings, flown on Air Force II, and now helps people hear God more clearly.
