Yvette Bellamy
Business Manager
My first job was... cleaning the petrol stains off petrol pumps (or Gas Pumps in the US) and picking up rubbish in the petrol station garden for BP Australia at 6am every morning before school... I was 13.
My childhood ambition was... to be the first female premier for the state of NSW in Australia. (That's like being the Governor)
My soundtrack is... that depends on the moment, the mood, the season, the year, the country....
My proudest moment was... getting on a plane to England with 50 pounds to my name and no idea what I was going to do once I landed and then making it through 2 years.
I collect... shoes.
My most embarrassing moment was... coming to school with bleach blonde boy haircut that was lop sided and made me look 30 when I was only 15 the day after modeling in a hair show... NOT so pretty! Definitely did not get paid enough for that. (This embarrassing moment is second only to smashing into the glass door at Rachel’s house at full speed in front of a bunch of people.)
My favorite thing about America is... the positive attitude, people are happy to see you succeed in America! I love that.

Stacy Capaldi
Pastoral Care Director
My first job was... teaching English in Ecuador. I was 13 and made my parents buy me a woman's briefcase so that I could look professional.
My childhood ambition was... to be an acrobatic clown in the Barnum & Bailey Circus. I was taking gymnastics lessons to make it happen.
My soundtrack is...anything I can sing along to.
My proudest moment was...at age 15 I had the opportunity to scrub up for surgery to interpret Spanish to English for the surgeons in a local Ecuadorian hospital. It was not the interpreting I was proud of, it was taking part in bringing two cultures together.
I collect...nothing. My interest chages too often to keep up with a collection.
My most embarrassing moment was...leaning back on my chair in a high school chemistry class and having the Bunsen burner catch my hair on fire.
My favorite thing about America is...coffee shops on every corner.
