The women behind Volo Match.
Volo Match is guided by real married traditional Catholic women who understand the seriousness of courtship, the dignity of marriage, and the importance of personal discernment. Our matchmakers bring warmth, wisdom, discretion, and lived Catholic experience to every introduction.
Emily is the founder of Volo Match and serves as Chief Matchmaker. A cradle Catholic who returned deeply to the Faith and found the Traditional Latin Mass, she brings conviction, discernment, and a love for Catholic family life to the heart of the company.
A former Psychological Operations Officer in the U.S. Army, Emily has a unique understanding of human behavior, communication, and influence. After leaving behind the career-first path, she embraced life as a wife, mother, and homemaker in Western North Carolina.
Her work through Volo Match is rooted in the belief that strong marriages, faithful families, and well-ordered homes are essential to restoring Christian culture. She helps men and women pursue courtship with wisdom, discretion, and purpose.
Darlene is a Catholic wife and mother based in South Florida. Originally from the Florida Keys, she brings a warm, grounded, and deeply personal approach to her work as a Volo Match matchmaker.
Married for more than two decades, Darlene understands the beauty and responsibility of Catholic family life. She and her family are active in their chapel community, where they worship, serve, and continue to grow in the Faith.
Her desire to work in the Catholic space comes from a sincere conviction that holy marriages and faithful families are essential to the restoration of Christendom. Through Volo Match, she is honored to help serious Catholics pursue marriage in a real, personal, and intentional way.
Lena is a California based cradle Catholic, wife, mother of many, grandmother, homeschooler, birth doula, and mentor to women and families seeking to build homes rooted in the Traditional Catholic faith. Together with her husband, her lifelong companion since youth, she has spent decades building a large family centered on the Traditional Latin Mass, the Faith without compromise, and living the liturgical year in the home.
Formed through many years of marriage, motherhood, sacrifice, loss, homeschooling, and guiding married children into family life of their own, Lena brings rare steadiness, maternal wisdom, discernment, and lived experience to her work as a matchmaker.
With her husband and confessor’s support, she is committed to helping sincere Catholics discern their vocation wisely and establish holy marriages rooted in right order, fidelity, and Christ-centered family life. She believes “Christ is King” is not merely a phrase, but the foundation upon which enduring Catholic families are built.
Michelle is a Catholic wife and mother based in the Oklahoma City area. She and her husband both grew up Catholic and have developed a deeper devotion to Traditional Catholicism and the Traditional Latin Mass in recent years.
As a young mother, Michelle understands the daily demands and blessings of family life. She brings warmth, sincerity, and a servant’s heart to her role as Matchmaker Assistant, helping support the behind-the-scenes work that allows Volo Match to serve clients and candidates well.
Michelle is excited to contribute to Volo Match’s mission of helping create more holy Catholic families. She sees this work as a sacred calling and is honored to support the team in whatever ways she can.
