Ellen Waters
I had the pleasure of growing up on the Alabama Gulf Coast, which is rich with Catholic values, traditions, and community. I studied Finance and Mathematics at the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and graduated in the Spring of 2021. I made the move further south to St. Pete shortly after graduation and began working for Raymond James Financial as a Risk Management Analyst. Getting involved at St. Paul Catholic Church has been a tremendous blessing - I truly love the time I spend with high schoolers of our parish! In my free time you can find me reading my latest kindle download, taking a workout class at Pure Barre, or walking along the bay.
Jerick Johnston
I’m a fourth-generation parishioner at St. Paul Catholic Church, a third-generation St. Paul’s School alum, and a second-generation graduate of St. Petersburg Catholic High School. My family’s roots here run deep, and being part of this community has always been central to my life.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management from the University of South Florida and an MBA from the University of Florida. More than anything, I love being part of Life Teen, spending time with our teens, and walking with them in faith.
Outside of church, I enjoy cooking, hiking and traveling with friends, and relaxing with a good book or movie.
