What’s the best part of having your daughters attend Beaumont?
Seeing my daughters continuing the tradition; excellence in education; confidence to try new and bigger things; pride and confidence instilled in being a woman and female leader in the world; learning to persevere and endure face and overcome challenges and obstacles;
It means the world to me to see my girls blossom into women of excellence and women of purpose, discovering their gifts, talents, abilities, and interests; seeing their leadership skills develop; learning to be great friends and caring, compassionate human beings willing to serve others, and coming to rest in the foundation of faith that will carry them through anything that life brings.

What was your favorite class or teacher?
My favorite classes at Beaumont were definitely Spanish and photography, taught by my two favorite teachers Ms. Sal and Mam Pam. They were truly stand-out educators who were dedicated to their students in and out of the classroom.
I also enjoyed my math courses taught by Mr. Pettek, although not my strong suit as a student, he always worked with me no matter how long it took to ensure I felt confident when going into tests and exams. His diligence in helping others was always evident especially when it came to assisting his students in their academic success.
What was your favorite Beaumont tradition?
One of my favorite Beaumont traditions would have to be Christmas on campus. Seeing all of the children run all over campus enjoying all of the fun games and activities, especially during the Christmas season was always really heart-warming.
What’s the best part of having your mom and sisters attend Beaumont?
One of the best parts of having my mother and my younger sisters attend Beaumont would have to be seeing the evolution of what it means to be a Beaumont student. Hearing stories of my mother and her time at Beaumont and then getting to live that out for myself always gave me a sense of sisterhood and unity.
Also after attending college and having two sisters at Beaumont taking the same classes that I did with the same teachers, is beautiful to see. Hearing how their day went at school and what Chef Bo cooked that day have become moments of nostalgia that I have grown to appreciate. Having this shared experience with my mother and sisters helps me to cherish the unique atmosphere that Beaumont helps to cultivate through community.
My ability to leave a legacy with the women in my family is a profound experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Our time at Beaumont not only has given us the academic tools to flourish in college and in our careers after, but has pushed us to continue to be faith-filled women of integrity and moral rectitude.

What’s the best part of having your mom and sisters attend Beaumont?
Bringing her back to see what has changed since she’s been here as well as what has remained the same. I especially enjoyed bringing her back to see the renovations to the field and cafeteria. Being a legacy of strong independent women who have the ability to speak their minds while being unwavering in their faith means so much to me.

Sharing this Beaumont experience to me means a lot. I have tons of support from all ends whether it's from someone who currently goes to school with me like my sister or from someone who has already been through the stuff I'm experiencing like my oldest sister or mother. They all can relate to my struggles. We all love the iconic Beaumont cookies served at lunch!

If I wasn't packing a lunch, I was most likely eating a salad. I was obsessed with Chef Bo’s salads, paired with a Beaumont cookie for a balanced lunch of course.
