Tess Plaisted was born and raised in Southern California. She graduated with a BA in Humanities with an Emphasis in Philosophy and Theology from John Paul the Great University in San Diego. She is thrilled to have graduated from a Newman Guide school and to now be teaching at a Newman Guide school! To continue her passion for the Newman Guide she is currently working on a MA in Philosophy and Theology at University of St. Thomas Houston. She has always had a passion for teaching and forming the youth of our Church. She has a deep love for our Lord and can’t wait to share that with her students. Tess is also one of the Blaze girls bible study leaders this year.
Outside of the classroom she enjoys spending time with her family, reading classic spiritual, or philosophical works, rock climbing, and spending time with Jesus in Adoration.
