New staff profile: Mary Ann Vogel

Position/title: Implementation Director of The Welsh Academy

Years of experience: 29

Previous place of employment: The Intergenerational Schools

What drew you to the Saint Ignatius community: The call to join the Saint Ignatius community was loud and clear in order to assist with the foundation of The Welsh Academy. I have had a career-long passion to support the work that brings equity in education to the students of Cleveland.

Initial impressions: Saint Ignatius is a special environment, I love the commitment to spirituality, the way it is intentionally developed for both students and adults. The staff have been incredibly welcoming.

Hobbies/interests: I like to read, go for walks, check out new restaurants, and sing in couple of choruses. I also enjoy photography.

What is one thing students should know about you: I love talking to you guys, it is always great to find out about what makes you tick. I am a former high school principal, so it is great to be back in a school setting with high school age young adults. Come and visit me.
