“When I graduated from EDW in 2002, I assumed I was closing the book on a brief but wonderful chapter of my life. I continued on to college and graduate school, and then began working as a public librarian. Shortly after getting married, my husband and I moved across the country, and I became a Catholic school librarian. Little did I know that this would plant the seed for what was to come. Upon returning home to Thibodaux, new baby in tow, my family explored the possibilities of continuing to work in a school setting. “Returning to my nest,” has been one of the greatest joys in my professional and spiritual life. I spend my days doing what I truly love: augmenting students’ education through research and studying, all within the construct of my Catholic faith. I realize the importance of the intellectual and spiritual development fostered at EDW, and deeply appreciate the sacrifices my parents made for me to attend. I can see this work continuing with the current faculty and staff, of which I am blessed to be a part. Most importantly, I am confident that enrolling our son here will be one of our greatest accomplishments as parents, and I truly look forward to the day that he is a Cardinal with me.” experiencing the same top-quality education, co-curricular programs, and faith formation. I just know my own children will cherish their high school memories at E. D. White just as my husband and I do. I pray that I can impact my students as much as my former teachers did, and I hope all of my students, as well as my own children, have the same school spirit and love for their alma mater.“
