Summary

At Holy Cross Catholic High School, I have excelled as a Theology Teacher and Campus Minister, enhancing student engagement through innovative teaching methods and fostering a supportive learning environment. Furthermore, I demonstrated expertise in research and effective communication, alongside a commitment to professional development, significantly contributing to the academic and spiritual growth of students.


As I finish my Masters Degree in Theology at Notre Dame, I was exploring other theological roles at Catholic school's around the nation. I found this job opening at Seattle's Jesuit College Preparatory School and I'm very interested in taking this role as I continue my mission in serving the Church.
