Wendy Norris is the head athletic trainer at DeMatha Catholic High School. Her passion to serve stems from the memory of one of her students, a Navy SEAL, who was killed in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan.  In August 2021, the Taliban overthrew the government of Afghanistan. Searching for a way to help those who served alongside her student, Wendy signed up to volunteer with the IRC.
