Who is Mr. Monahan?

First and foremost, I am a husband of over ten years to Sheena and a father to three decidedly kinetic boys: Paddy, Hunter and Conor and we have on cat named Leia. I graduated from St. Michael’s College in Dublin, Ireland and then completed my bachelors of science from Marquette University (during this time, I did a semester at NUI Galway, it was amazing). I also have master degrees from Loyola University Chicago and MIT. I am currently enrolled in the Remick Leadership program at the University of Notre Dame

As a teaching assistant, I taught at Marquette University and The University of Notre Dame. From 2017-2018, I was the junior high science teacher and the homeroom teacher for the amazing 6A at St. Matthew Cathedral School in South Bend, Indiana. That year I was also a rugby coach at Marian High School in Mishawaka, Indiana. I now coach rugby at Marquette University High School.

Before teaching science, I spent about a decade ‘doing science’. I worked on projects (mostly in neuroscience) at Loyola, MIT, Harvard, Trinity College Dublin, CiNet at Osaka University in Japan, Indiana University and Notre Dame.

I am Texan by birth, Irish by origin, and the junior high science teacher at St. Monica School by the Grace of God.
