- Learning Consultant
My decision to maintain my career at a Catholic high school is because of the faith community, the respect I have received from my co-workers, and the transformation I see in my students.

I teach because I was raised to believe that the exchange of ideas is one of the most important things we can participate in. Being in a Jesuit school allows us to be lifelong learners.
Teaching within this environment at De Smet Jesuit provides a constant challenge and opportunity to continue to grow in my vocation and to foster the growth and development of students through engagement, compassion, and empathy.
I work at a Catholic high school because I believe in the culture of nourishment, inclusion, high academic and personal standards, commitment to service and development of the whole person: spirit, mind and body. I am passionate and feel grateful to be a part of this formation process.
I’m thankful that I can go to work every day where I can not only witness my faith to my students and challenge them to grow closer to God, but that I can develop a stronger spiritual life through my experiences in this environment.
Not only do we respect and support each other, we also care for and enjoy each other. Alumni return to work here, employees send their sons here, and lifelong friendships are built here.
