2025 Convention Deputy
My name is Dina Rodriguez, I grew up in Montclair. I’m a graduate of both Montclair High School and Montclair State University, where I earned a degree in Business Administration. My professional life began in finance, with roles at Hamburg Süd, The Children’s Place, and Wyndham Corporation. I stepped away from corporate life to take on a more challenging role of stay-at-home parent (also known as CFO, chef, uber driver, homework helper, and peacekeeper) of our two wonderful daughters, Emma and Alexa, and our three labradors. As a family we love travel, try new foods, and spend time with family and friends.
I was raised Roman Catholic at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, but last year, I was received into the Episcopal Church. Patrick and I were married at St. Luke’s in 2002 and have called it home ever since. Though I’ve been a reluctant parishioner at times, I’m inspired by the servant leadership I see in my children. The love and grace at St. Luke’s are abundant. The community has been there for us through our ups and downs. I’m honored to pay it forward alongside my fellow nominees.
