The sense of community and togetherness at SJO amongst both the staff and the students is unlike anything you’ll find at another school.

Who is your biggest inspiration?

My mom has shown me what it means to be a hardworking, Christian woman her entire life, and there is no one better I could aspire to be.

In ten years, I picture myself prospering at the heart of the political scene in our country, while also managing a happy home life with my husband and four kids.
