Alvarado became a US citizen in 2008, a year before starting her career with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty — a renowned nonprofit public interest group that defends religious causes legally at the U.S. 最高法院和其他地方. 在那里, with a background in public policy 和 campaigns, she spent 14 years of her professional career in various roles helping promote 和 defend religious freedom 和 oversaw 12 Supreme Court religious liberty cases. Alvarado became vice president 和 executive director in 2017, 2021年3月晚些时候, while in that same capacity at Becket, began to make her mark on the world stage as the founding host of the popular weekly one-hour “EWTN 新闻 in Depth” program discussing current events in the Church, 政治, 和 culture from a 天主教 perspective.

“在那里 is no better model of forceful, 安静的, 母亲的力量,” Alvarado said of Mary during her interview with the “Women of Grace” TV show. “Someone who transformed the face of the earth for generations to come. Literally the most powerful woman on the planet in the history of mankind. When you think about that, 和 who we can be, when we embrace our femininity, it is shocking.”
