My name is Nicholas Jerrold.  I was born in San Francisco and have lived in the Bay Area my entire life.  As a young child, I lived in San Bruno through the age of four when my family moved a few miles south to Millbrae.  The schools I attended include El Crystal Elementary, Taylor Middle School, and Mills High School.  After graduating from high school, I attended the College of San Mateo, and later, transferred to California State University Hayward.  It was at CSUH that I earned an appreciation for and a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics.  Upon graduation from college, I pursued different jobs in the retail industry that required a variety of skills.  After a few years in retail, I was looking to grow professionally and desired a greater challenge in my life.  It was at this time that I enrolled in the single subject credential program at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont.  One year later, I began teaching at St. Charles School.  I am now in my third year at St. Charles, and couldn't be happier.
