Get to know Nazareth

She was a doctor, a ballerina, an astronaut, an artist or Dorothy (okay, Toto too). She still has big dreams, though now they are this side of the rainbow. Let Trinity be home for four years and watch her make them all come true. Because when it comes to building confidence in her dreams, there really is no place like Trinity.

When she was little, her imagination was limitless.
