Why did you become a Fellow? I am excited to be able to share my Catholic faith with my students at Seton. I believe that Seton will help me in my goal of becoming the best Catholic educator I can be, and I am excited to live in communtiy and pour into my students.

Why did you become a Fellow? I want to give my life and heart to something that forms both hearts and minds. I always knew that there was something more and something bigger to the faith, and through college, I saw God work in my education as well as my faith. I’ve seen how many young people in underserved areas are hungry for truth, love, and hope. I maintain a deep conviction to be present with them, not just as a teacher, but as a witness of God’s love.

Why did you become a Fellow? I feel called to devote a year after graduation fully to service, understanding that this commitment will not be limited to one year, but will shape the way I live and serve for the rest of my life. Living among the community I serve is especially important to me; as Pope Francis reminds us, the shepherd should “smell like his sheep.” It is a profound joy to witness the planting of seeds through education, and I am excited to see the fruit that comes from introducing children to Jesus and helping them recognize God’s love in their daily lives. As a Seton Teaching Fellow, I hope to imitate Christ the Teacher in all that I do, serving with humility, love, and a desire to form both hearts and minds in truth.

Why did you become a Fellow? I have a love for knowledge and the truth and a strong desire to teach. I am excited to be an example to students and to invest in their development. I have been lucky throughout my life to have attended Catholic Liberal Arts schools, and when I look back at my own individual formation, I recognize the enormous impact that the teachers had on me growing up. This impact is still flourishing within me today, not only in just the content of what was taught to me but also through my teacher’s demeanor and example as a Catholic man or woman. I want to provide for others what has been provided for me.

Additionally, I have always been excited about the prospect of working with children, and I am excited to grow as a teacher this year.

Why did you become a Fellow? I have been blessed to attend a Catholic university and have experienced the joy of a good education.

Why did you become a Fellow? I am passionate about learning. From living abroad and learning at international schools, to studying at a classical and Catholic university, these educational and life experiences have exposed me to a more beautiful world. I want to teach and work with students closely to help them love to learn and thereby build a strong foundation for a great life.

Why did you become a Fellow? I desire to serve because I want each and every student to feel seen, known, and loved in order to bring them to know the love of their greatest teacher, Jesus Christ. In the words of Pope John Paul II, I desire to serve in order to “give my existence away in love,” and Seton Teaching Fellows is a magnificent instrument to do so.

Why did you become a Fellow? My studies have been shaped and formed by my experience of Catholic education, but more importantly, my heart has been formed after the Heart of Christ. The Catholic faith is the most important thing in the world, and it is needed in society today more than ever. Seton Teaching Fellows is a wonderful opportunity in which I will be able to, through the Lord, share His love and guide others as well as myself in coming to live in His peace. In the past, I would have called helping and serving people on this level as a dream, but today it is so much more than a dream: it is a Christian calling becoming realized through the Lord’s grace.

Why did you become a Fellow? I have been inspired to be a teacher who is not only a positive male role model, but also a teacher who forms young minds and is passionate about what he is teaching.

Why did you become a Fellow? I saw and experienced first hand the importance of having an education that was centered on Jesus and the mission of the Church, and know how necessary it is for the world. I want to be able to give back to the Church and help those who may not typically have this opportunity. At the end of the day, I want to be able to give these kids and families the love of Jesus that I received in my education.

I have a deep love for bringing children closer to Christ through education, and am excited by Seton Teaching Fellows’ mission to combine the need for an excellent Catholic education with the witness of young people living out their faith.

Why did you become a Fellow? The more I think about my future, two main desires come up; to live in a Catholic community and to teach. Seton Teaching Fellows not only offers those two things, but it will also challenge me in a way that would be really beneficial for my spiritual growth and also my teaching career. I really desire to be a witness to Christ through the role of teaching and Seton Teaching Fellows offers the support needed to do that.

Why did you become a Fellow? In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world, and to let our light shine before others so that they can see our good works and glorify God. Jesus came to not only teach, but to transform the world, and in striving to imitate him, I hope to do the same. Even if all I accomplish is planting a small seed of faith in the hearts of children, I will know that I have fulfilled my mission. Jesus said to let the little children come to Him, and I believe that I can answer that call as a Seton Teaching Fellow.

Why did you become a Fellow? With Seton Teaching Fellows, I see a new hope for Catholic schools: teachers who are actively practicing the faith and genuinely love it; a coherent educational model grounded in virtue; and an expectation that students will not simply advance to the next grade level, but will pursue excellence and gain confidence in their future. I am thrilled to be able to be a part of this mission.

Why did you become a Fellow? Like Our Lady, I desire to be a spiritual mother, bringing God’s children closer to Him and pointing others towards Christ in all things. If Christ is asking me to leave everything behind and follow Him, my answer echoes Mary’s fiat. I offer him my dreams, hopes, gifts, and service. I trust that through Catholic education, I can help bring more children to His kingdom, help form them into scholars and, most importantly, into saints.

Why did you become a Fellow? My desire to pursue service as a Seton Teaching Fellow is led by my passion for giving young students the opportunity to thrive in the community they live. I believe we can make a change anywhere we go, and going on mission means serving the community I’m in by dedicating myself to standing in the shoes of my students. I know that mission takes accountability and dedication. Completely immersing myself in the community I’m placed in is how I can become a part of something larger than myself. Ultimately, my desire to serve as a teacher through Seton Teaching Fellows is led by a motivation to bring Christ to all corners of the world.

Why did you become a Fellow? I feel passionate about catechizing children in a developmentally appropriate way. Our beautiful Catholic faith is full of very big ideas difficult to grasp, even for adults. It is therefore, an important part of our mission as Catholics to prepare the souls of little children to fully receive the Gospel, as they grow to understand it in more profundity. Letting my students rest their identity in God’s unconditional love for them, and not shying away from any difficult questions that might arise is a good base from which to integrate them into the Church.

Brown University
Major: Computer Science and Linguistic Anthropology
Hometown: San Diego, CA
Why did you become a Fellow? I became a Seton Teaching Fellow because it brings together two passions that have shaped my life: education and the Catholic faith. Throughout middle school, high school, and college, I sought opportunities to tutor, serve as a teaching assistant, and mentor other students because I love helping others learn and grow. As a lifelong Catholic, I have also remained active in my faith and community. Becoming a fellow allows me to combine these passions by serving students through an authentic Catholic education and helping them grow both academically and spiritually.

Why did you become a Fellow? I see the opportunity to serve as a Seton Teaching Fellow as a huge privilege to get to enter into God’s giving love for His people directly, and to preach the Gospel to the poor. I spent most of my years before Christ lost, searching for meaning and happiness but never finding it. If I could play just a tiny role in one person truly choosing Christ at such a young age, that would be worth everything.

Hillsdale College

Why did you become a Fellow? I fell in love with the students, the school, and the way of life that is being a fellow. When the Lord has given Himself completely to you, you cannot help but give yourself completely to Him. I found Christ in the students I taught, the community members He gave me, and my co-laborers in the vineyard. When He asked me to remain here with Him for one more year, my only response was yes.

Why did you become a Fellow? I became a fellow because I wanted to live a life oriented toward others and participate in a community dedicated to helping people reach Heaven. While I hope to work in bioethics someday, I felt called first to immerse myself in a way of life that puts faith into action through service, teaching, and authentic relationships. I wanted the opportunity to accompany students, encourage them in their pursuit of holiness and education, and support those who come from difficult circumstances. As a fellow, I hope to serve, lead, and learn from my students, while growing in my own commitment to living out the Gospel in a concrete and meaningful way.

Marian University

Why did you become a Fellow? I firmly believe that my faith would neither be as strong nor as informed as it is today without my Catholic education. By serving as a Seton Teaching Fellow, I would be blessed with the opportunity to be an integral part of that process for so many young minds and hearts. I feel called to help teach and minister to the next generation of saints. Building a strong catechetical foundation is not only important in growing a deep, personal relationship with God, but it is crucial in having the confidence and ability to explain and defend the Catholic faith.

Why did you become a Fellow? I feel called to participate in the mission of Catholic Education as a Seton Teaching Fellow in order to boldly proclaim the faith, specifically to children and underserved populations. I believe that a strong faith foundation, taught effectively through the Holy Spirit, is incredibly important in the lives of all of God’s children. I am excited to form relationships with students and to help them to grow spiritually, personally, and academically. Children have such a light to them, and being able to participate in the teaching of the Catholic Faith and the love of our Lord to the next generation would be a blessing.

The mission of the organization to provide Catholic education to socio-economically challenged communities is a beautiful service that I am honored to be a part of.

Why did you become a Fellow? I became a Seton Teaching Fellow because I want to help young people fall in love with Jesus Christ and experience the fullness of the Catholic faith. I know that strong faith is built on strong formation, and I have seen how many people drift away from the Church. As a fellow, I hope to make the richness of the Catholic faith engaging and accessible for children while preserving its depth and beauty. I want to help them develop the knowledge, confidence, and devotion they need to encounter the secular world with grace and remain rooted in Christ. My hope is that they will one day strengthen the Church through their families, parishes, and communities, giving glory to God and living out the fruits of the Holy Spirit throughout their lives.because they never received a solid foundation in their youth. I wanted to be part of changing that.
