As a young woman, Dominican Sister Albertine Cevallos thought for sure that her life would center on science. Growing up in a rationalist, science-focused home, she graduated from Caltech with an astrophysics degree.

But along her journey, she discovered serving God and advancing scientific knowledge are not mutually exclusive.

Today, she serves as a science teacher at Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville while living the charism of her religious community, the Dominican Sisters of St. Celicia of Nashville.

Sister Albertine talks with George Matysek about her vocation.
