Nancy Tinkham has dedicated over 30 years to Catholic education, bringing passion, creativity, and leadership to every role she has embraced. She holds a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Sociology from the University of California Santa Barbara, and a Master’s of Arts degree in School Counseling from the University of La Verne.
Her teaching journey began at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, where she served for 15 years as a varsity volleyball coach, assistant athletic director, and physical education teacher. For the past 12 years, she served as the athletic director, P.E. teacher, and art instructor at Saint Elizabeth Parish School. Ms. Tinkham loves inspiring students through movement, discipline, and artistic expression. She also deeply values the opportunity to teach in a faith-based
environment and is especially grateful to God for leading her to a new role at Holy Family. She is excited to join the school family as an instructional aide and enthusiastic team member.
She looks forward to building relationships with new students and families and becoming a part of the school’s spirited and God loving community. Outside of the classroom, Nancy enjoys spending time outdoors, cooking, gardening, card making, and painting —but her greatest joy comes from time at home with her family and her four beloved pugs.
