FAVORITE SAINT: St. Philip Neri. As the patron saint of friendship and joy, I admire his ability in establishing human bonds and loving/connecting to people of all ages. Because of his devout prayer life, many claimed that his face “glowed with a celestial radiance” - what a Saint to look up to! I appreciate his missionary spirit and love for bringing people closer to Jesus through teaching and service.

MORE ABOUT ME: I experience a lot of joy playing sports, reading, hiking, and engaging in *friendly* competition through board games. I also enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and our Lord in prayer!

WHY I CHOOSE TO TEACH AT CTK: I chose to work at Christ the King because the mission values are well aligned with my hope for the Lord’s children. At CTK, the aspiration is to foster future Saints, help students grow in virtue and wisdom, and embolden them to develop a personal relationship with Jesus. I love the encouragement for students to live a life with God at the center of reality and the goal to prepare them for a life filled with wonder, joy, and hope. I desired to join an incredible team that is on fire with love of God, for His children, and for the community, and I found it here at Christ the King!
