18 FEATURING ASHLEY WHITTY '02 AND CAITLIN WHITTY '08 Ashley and Caitlin Whitty are proud Oregonians who grew up in southwest Portland. From their hearts for service to their love of learning, Ashley and Caitlin credit St. Mary’s Academy with molding them into the women leaders and educators they are today. Ashley, an English teacher, enthusiastically describes teaching at SMA as her dream come true. After graduating in 2002, Ashley earned a Bachelor’s in 58
English from the University of Oregon, followed by a Master’s in Teaching from Lewis & Clark College and a Master’s in English from Portland State University. She taught at St. Andrew Nativity School for seven years before returning home to the place she credits with gifting her the confidence and passion to teach successfully. This school year is Ashley’s seventh at her alma mater. Her work combines her two greatest passions: literature and working with young people. She leads with love in the classroom, a virtue she felt every day as a student at SMA. Caitlin, Director of Service, teaches SMA students how to live the values of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. Following her 2008 graduation, Caitlin earned her Bachelor’s in History from the Clark Honors College at the University of Oregon. True to her current position, Caitlin then joined Teach for America (TFA) and served for two years in Tulsa, Oklahoma as an elementary school teacher in a Title I school. Caitlin’s work with TFA reaffirmed the passion for service instilled in her at St. Mary's Academy. In her current role, Caitlin creates individual service opportunities and coordinates several all-school service events, including the cherished Christmas Basket Program and the beloved student- led UNITE day. Caitlin’s work connects her with every student at SMA, affording her the opportunity to cultivate a love of service in the entire student body. As mothers of girls, Ashley and Caitlin know firsthand the challenges facing young women in today’s world. They dedicate their careers to St. Mary’s because they know they would not be the independent, confident, and heart-forward women they are without their SMA education. For the Whitty sisters, working at SMA gives them the chance to give back to their school and make a meaningful investment in young women. Together, they also own Wild Thyme Flowers, a floral design company.
