What have you been up to since STA? I graduated from college and wanted to come back to Indianapolis after being in West Lafayette for four years and I could not stay away from St.Thomas so I came back to work as an instructional aid and I am so glad I did. The culture and community that makes up StThomas is so unique and amazing so I couldn’t help but come back! Everyone was kind and caring when I attended here as a student and the same has translated to being apart of the faculty and staff!
Please tell us about your family: My family includes my mom, dad and my sister and brothers.
What is your favorite STA memory? I always loved when we took standardized test and the parents would whip up casseroles and bring us breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite meal and it’s because of the breakfast casseroles I ate in my fourth grade classroom!
I also loved our houses and the St.Baldrick’s assemblies!
What do you like to do in your spare time? I love attending concerts or just traveling. My goal is to travel to all 50 states before I turn 30 and I am doing pretty well so far!
What words of advice would you offer a current STA student? Enjoy the time you spend in such a small classroom there are so many positives about seeing the same people everyday and being able to sustain such strong bonds. Do not wish away your time spent here its such an honor being able to be apart of such a loving and kind community!
Is there any other information you would like to share about yourself (Please feel free to share any additional information about you or STA)? Last summer, St. Thomas hosted our 50-year 8th grade reunion, and over half of my classmates came back together to reminisce and rekindle friendships. It is a tribute to St. Thomas that after all of these years so many came so far to be together.
