WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY The International Student Program is crossing borders, introducing new perspectives, and inspiring Mariners to go big.

Written by Adrianne Ford

“B

rave and bold.” That’s how AJ Lee describes the international students at Moreau Catholic High School.

“They come here, to a new country, without their parents, at just 14 years old, to learn in a language that is not their native tongue,” he says. As Moreau’s Associate Director of Admissions, Lee is advisor and counselor to these students who leave family, friends, and familiar surroundings to pursue an education in the United States. “They get immersed in our community and really blossom,” he says. “It’s been a privilege to watch them grow.”

The 28 international students enrolled at Moreau this school year hail from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Russia. Hosted by nearby families (many with ties to Moreau), each started school with the support of a Link Leader, an upper-class student available to answer any questions about Moreau and American culture, as well as introductory classes designed to help them build their English skills.

With this strong support system, students like Jeffrey Chen ’24, from Taoyuan, Taiwan, participate in a wide range of activities and programs. He competes on Moreau’s baseball and crosscountry teams and is also a member of the Table Tennis Club, the Universal Peace Club, and the Taiwanese Club. “I came to the United States because my dream is to become a physical therapist or athletic trainer, and I know a lot of universities in the United States have strong science departments,” says Chen, who is challenging himself with honors classes at Moreau.

He’s been enjoying the comradery of athletics most of all.

“Sports brings a lot of people from different grades together,” he explains, “it’s a good place to improve myself physically and mentally, but also a place for socializing.”

Tsz Chun (Stallone) Yip ’22, from Hong Kong, has also enjoyed the opportunity to get to know students across the entire Mariner community. “Students here are supportive of each other and friendly,” says Yip, a member of Student Government, the football team, and the International Student Program Council. “Not only can I learn from their culture, they can also learn from mine, so the local students and I are both growing at the same time.”

Both Chen and Yip say they appreciate the freedom at Moreau to select courses that mirror their interests and support their future academic plans. Yip wants to work in the field of computer science. “So being able to take two years of computer science during my high school years in America can really prepare me to start ahead,” he says.

Other students like Shumo Wang ’23 came to Moreau in search of a more well-rounded education. As he explains, the test-based curriculum in Beijing, China, did not match his learning style. “I was always bad at memorizing. It was a way of teaching that didn’t work for me, and my grades were very bad.” Today Moreau has provided the junior with a second chance. “Now with projects and all the other different kinds of work here,” he says, “I’ve started to enjoy studying.”

Leila Khairetdinova ’24 was drawn to Moreau’s athletics program. In her native Ufa, Russia, she competed in track at the state/provincial level. At Moreau, Khairetdinova has continued in track, winning races as a frosh, and has also added cross country to her repertoire. She says she was excited to discover fun American events like football games and spirit week as well as new ways that she can support the local community.

Khairetdinova joined the Red Cross Club to help organize blood drives and is contemplating future studies of biology or medicine.

It was Ms. Karen Thomas, he says, describing Moreau’s Visual and Performing Arts Department Chair as “my Obi-Wan.”

“I would say she ruined my original life plan in a good way,” Zhang says. “She did an excellent job at encouraging kids to do more, think more, and try more.”

The Moreau alumnus has nothing but praise for his alma mater’s international student program as well as some advice for prospective students.

“If you are confused about your future or too afraid to take the first step, be brave,” he says. “Moreau will definitely help you find your passion.”

MOREAU INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS PROGRAM AT-A-GLANCE “Teachers at Moreau are very supportive and are always willing to help with any questions,” the sophomore says. “I am receiving a good education and working hard, which makes me feel more confident about my future.”

In pre-Covid years, the international program welcomed as many as 60 students at a time to Moreau, nearly twice as many as it serves today. But with travel restrictions lifted and access to vaccines on the rise, Lee is hopeful that enrollment will bounce back—for the benefit of the school and the community beyond campus.

“Many of our international students are not Catholic,” Lee says, “but they learn the historical view of Catholicism, its values and morals, and how they can be applied to make a better world.”

Wenjing (Jocelyn) Yang ’23, a student from Kunming in Yunnan province, China, is among the students seeking to use their gifts for the greater good. “I initiated a student-led organization with my friends both in the U.S. and China, and we hope to make our world a more peaceful place,” she says. “This year we are organizing activities against Asian hate and racial discrimination.”

For many, Moreau is just the start of their educational journey in the United States. Tyler Zhang ’21 just finished his first midterms in the Game Arts program at New York’s Pratt Institute. The future game developer or artist (he’s not sure yet) credits the VAPA program with helping him discover his creative side. “It encourages students to try different things, by letting them believe they might be good at something,” he says. “Just, you know, at least give it a try.” Zhang had never drawn or created anything artistic before his first Visual Arts class at Moreau.

A FAMILY TRADITION Chris Valle ’90 on the teacher who made a difference, the many Mariners in his family and why he gives back to Moreau Catholic.

Written by Adrianne Ford

T

hirty-five years ago, Ms. Annmarie Cota (pictured below) posed a question to each student in Chris Valle’s freshmen English class at Moreau Catholic High School, and he still remembers it vividly.

What do you want out of life?

“If someone’s answer was ‘to get a job,’ she asked you to think about what else you might be on Earth for,” he recalls. “She was inspiring. I loved her class and her toughness as a teacher.”

Valle has taken time to speak to The Vector by phone after a busy day at Google, where he works as industry director of Consumer Electronics. Looking back to that day in Miss Cota’s classroom, he remembers, “She made me and other students think bigger, out of the box, challenged that we can go after more than we typically expected of ourselves and beyond the material things,” Valle says. He remembers how his teacher spoke of living a good life with family and faith at the core—something the father of three says he has strived to do ever since.

At Google, Valle manages a $1 billion business with a more than

40-person team that helps some of the nation’s biggest brands navigate the digital marketing landscape. Work-life balance is understandably tricky, but ruthless planning, wisdom passed down from his parents and those values he learned at Moreau, Valle says, help him find “the time to pause, reflect and have fun with my family.”

It’s a family that has a long history with Moreau. Valle’s oldest brother, David ’79, was the first to graduate from Moreau followed by his brothers Joseph ’83, Richard ’86, and their sister, Joelle ’88. This explains why Valle can recall rooting for the Mariners long before he became one.

Just like Richard, Valle took up wrestling when he arrived on campus, but he’s quick to point out that he is not the athlete in the family. “That’s Joelle,” he says, praising his sister for making the softball Hall of Fame her freshman year. Still, athletics taught him a lot about teamwork, Valle says. It’s one of many experiences at Moreau that prepared him for his career ahead.

Valle praises the passionate Mr. Marek Breiger, with his Einsteinesque hair, who introduced him to classics, from Steinbeck’s Cannery Row to Capote’s In Cold Blood, and sparked his interest in storytelling. Religions of the World “was a really good class that helped me develop a more diverse worldview,” he recalls. Moreau was also the place where Valle made lifelong friendships with students like Sam Schmidt ’90 and Stan Snow ’90. The two fellow grads stood beside him as his groomsmen on Valle’s wedding day.

Valle was also developing a strong work ethic and a sense of hustle that would serve him well throughout his career. In his early Mariner days, Valle rose well before dawn and hopped on his 1974 BMX racing bike (still with him, now fully restored) to deliver The Daily Review to his neighbors. After school, he clocked in at his retail job at the first Target (“before it was Tar-jay,” he quips), where he discovered that he loved customer service. Valle’s interest in gadgets, digital devices, and music attracted him to the store’s electronics department. He became its manager at only 18 years old, the youngest department manager in the entire Bay Area. The job was his first stepping stone to the work he does today.

Valle graduated in 1990 and went on to San Jose State University to earn a degree in marketing and advertising. The most important lesson he carried with him? The ability to stand up in front of people and confidently tell a story as he did in

THE VECTOR

Miss Cota’s class, he says. That practice helped him earn a marketing award during his senior year of college.

Degree in hand, Valle found his first jobs in advertising agencies in Southern California. As both a team and account manager, he helped clients like Petco, the City of Long Beach, and DirectTV build their first web experiences. “It was the early days of digital, Web-based marketing,” he says, a time of speed, creativity, and constant innovation. “I fell in love with it.” His first sales and marketing role, with America Online in 1998 (the era of AOL install discs arriving in our daily mail), brought him back to the Bay Area. The dot-com boom was in full swing.

“It was exhilarating to be in marketing, sales, and advertising during this period in my twenties,” he says. “I knew the world and the way we all would consume information was changing. I had no idea how that early experience would lead to spending the next 25 years working at AOL, Yahoo, and Google, some of the big names we all grew up with.”

Valle stayed with AOL for five years, serving as the principal liaison for marketing partnerships between the company and leading e-commerce clients, including Amazon (back when it only sold books). “I recognized early on that I had a passion for leading teams,” he says. After a stint as Yahoo’s advertising solutions manager, he became a Googler in 2005, starting as a senior manager for Tech B2B Vertical and moving up to head of industry for many different departments before he took over Consumer Electronics.

who quietly leads by example. She’s very coachable, positive, and doesn’t back down from competition,” he says. “And Coach Alva, with her experience from her personal running career, has been a great addition to our coaching team. The athletes respond really well to her. She steps in without question to help in any way she can.”

Valle’s late father John would no doubt be proud to see the family’s coaching tradition continue. From the 1950s to his passing in 1997, John was well-known at Our Lady of the Rosary (OLR) parish in Union City. He was the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) athletic director for more than 40 years and coached all five of the Valle children in OLR Basketball and Union City Little League, several of whom went on to compete or coach at the collegiate level.

Like his father, Valle does plenty of coaching to help others in his field make the most of their God-given talents. He’s also made it a priority to give back to Moreau through Annual Gifts that are helping the next generation of students.

“My dad and my mom [Marie Valle, who passed away in 2014] were our role models to give back to your community and help others who need it,” he says. “And I think giving back is part of what we learned as students at Moreau, whether it’s volunteering, tutoring a student, being a good friend, or donating to a good cause—it just seems like the right thing to do.”

Moreau helped him build a strong foundation for a successful career, and he’s grateful to his parents for connecting him to the school. “My parents were very appreciative of the values that the Catholic school system brought. The morals, the wellrounded education, the importance of having goals—that’s what led them to send their children to Moreau,” he says.

Today, both his wife, Alva (pictured right), and their oldest daughter, Eliana ’24 (pictured above), have made their own journeys to the same campus. Alva, who ran for Stanford’s club team, is now the assistant cross-country coach at Moreau and Eliana is on the team.

It was a pretty surreal feeling to watch his daughter walk inside Moreau for the first time, passing those pillars that have come to mean so much to him. Valle’s been excited to watch her set out on her own educational journey.

“Moreau is an environment where kids really want to learn and want to be the best. There’s such a strong community where faith, family, and love are the focus and everyone is in it together,” he says. “It’s just an awesome place.”

Coach Enrique Henriquez feels blessed to have them both at Moreau. “Eliana is a very focused, goal-driven student-athlete moreaucatholic.org

KATE Tsang ’03

ANDREW Rose ’04

MARINER FILMMAKERS Whether through writing and directing independent films about less seen characters like Kate Tsang ’03, managing the many elements of finance, schedule, and people on multi-million dollar productions like David Duque-Estrada ’00, or by being a one-person creative/production/marketing team elevating the work of other artists like Andrew Rose ’06, these Mariner filmmakers have found success in a notoriously cutthroat industry on their own terms.

Written by Elizabeth (Morales) Zepeda ’03

“E

verything that everyone told you that you thought you had to do for Hollywood, to get in there, or to make a project, we said, No, we don’t have to do that. We can always do it another way. I think one of the things that I learned in high school was there was always another way to do things,” says Andrew Rose ’06. And do it another way they all have.

An early member of MCTV, Rose is “always trying to figure out how to make a mark on something.” After a disappointing experience in college—where his film studies were more theoretical than practical, and his professors were discouraging and burnt out from careers in Hollywood—Rose decided that he would be the exception to the rule. HE would make it in Hollywood when others couldn’t. What he did instead was create his own version of success, working closely with comedians, brands, and music artists like Tori Kelly, Jordan Fisher, Pharrell Williams, Ed Sheeran, Nick Jonas, to name a few.

Spending years “farting around” (his words) was just what David Duque-Estrada ’00 needed to find his calling in the film industry. He attended community college after Moreau then did some bartending before deciding it was time to go back to school. In his late 20s, he attended the Academy of Art University where he dabbled in many aspects of filmmaking but was drawn most to producing. Answering an ad on Craigslist for an unpaid Production Assistant proved to be a life-changing decision. The project ended up being an early Safdie Brothers film called Heaven Knows What (2014) and began a long working relationship between Duque-Estrada and the Safdies. The Safdies would go on to make movies like Good Time (2017) starring Robert Pattinson and Uncut Gems (2019) starring Adam Sandler, but Duque-Estrada’s first encounter with them was his “in” to Hollywood and eventually on to the set of the six-time Academy Award-nominated film, The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020).

A short stint as a pre-med student working toward a career as a mortician made Kate Tsang ’03 realize, “Oh, I don’t want to be Dana Scully. I actually want to make The X-Files.” In 2019, Tsang won the AT&T Untold Stories competition, a one million dollar prize that allowed Tsang and her team to develop, film, and edit Tsang’s feature-length film debut Marvelous and the Black Hole, a “coming of age comedy that’s about a teenage delinquent who befriends a children’s party magician who helps her navigate her dysfunctional family and inner demons with the help of sleight of hand magic.” Untold Stories partners with Tribeca Film Festival at which Marvelous was set to debut in 2020 as an Official Selection, but had to be postponed. The film premiered to its first live audience at Sundance Film Festival this year and was later, finally, screened at Tribeca.

STORIES ABOUND “For a long time, I didn’t get to see myself, my friends, or my family represented on screen. So I tell stories that I wish I had when I was younger and need now. Stories about angry teens, Asian

Americans, outsiders, people who are monsters, and the folks who love them. I want to create spaces where characters like me are thriving and have limitless options to be whatever they want to be,” Tsang says about why she makes the films she does.

Tsang’s inspiration for Marvelous draws heavily from her own lived experience. Splitting her time as a child between divorced parents in Hong Kong and the Bay Area left Tsang feeling isolated and lonely. In middle school, her grandfather came from Hong Kong to take care of her. “He could tell I was struggling and going through it, but he didn’t judge me,” she shares. “He just validated me and became the best friend I needed at that time. And the core relationship of [Marvelous]... is very much rooted in this relationship. And it’s something I wanted to honor.”

Storytelling is the connective tissue that drives all three of these Mariners to their work. Having learned the value of good storytelling through the MCHS Theatre program, Duque-Estrada shares, “I credit the program, namely Arlene Hood, Terry Lee, and Amy Armstrong for teaching me the value of creative expression. At MCHS I was taught the importance of reading something on paper and translating those words into actual human emotions. Putting myself in someone else’s shoes...The arts was my introduction to the importance of compassion.”

He adds that theatre and choir taught him to look beyond the words on the paper to find the story and the human connection.

Duque-Estrada describes his job as working for the director to help their vision come to fruition. Part of what he enjoys about his work is seeing how the director, actors, and other production elements bring a story to life. While working on Chicago 7, Duque-Estrada observed how Aaron Sorkin brought a clear direction for his team, then trusted them to go there. “It’s great when you have a good director that walks in and knows what they want, and not all of them do. But Aaron Sorkin was very good about that. When he walked in, he knew what he wanted.

He let [the actors] do it and was like, Okay, cool. Great. Moving on.” Trust and strong leadership allow for good storytelling, as evidenced by Chicago 7’s Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

Even in making shorter content like music and dance videos, Rose also understands the importance of a strong narrative.

He says, “The idea of having a story was always the something that I wanted to incorporate in things that I did. So regardless if it was a music video, or a dance piece, or a documentary, story was always going to be the main thing I wanted to portray...I moved to LA and I wanted to make movies, I wanted to go to Warner Brothers. It wasn’t for me at the time, but the idea of storytelling never left.”

Upon arriving in LA, Rose noticed a market for refining and upgrading the self-recorded videos that dancers and dance companies were making and putting on YouTube. He entered moreaucatholic.org

the world of social media content creation before it was at everyone’s fingertips with TikTok and Instagram. He’s proud of being part of the beginnings of content creation and “changing something,” he shares. From there he moved into the music industry, teaming up with singer-songwriter Tori Kelly early in her career, making most of her music videos since 2009. Rose continues to tell stories in his filmmaking: “I’ve been fortunate to be on a bunch of world tours, filming 33 shows around the country over the course of two months, living on a tour bus, telling the story of what it’s like to be on the road. And I would have never had those opportunities if I didn’t take a chance on an alternate way to get there.”

MOREAU AS THE MAIN CHARACTER Rose, Tsang, and Duque-Estrada all credit Moreau Catholic with instilling them with the skills and values they needed to carve out the path to their respective careers. Leadership is just one skill that Duque-Estrada learned while at Moreau. “The roots of where I am today professionally grow from my time as a member of the concert choir, theatre club, and performing in the plays and musicals every year at MCHS. The theatre taught me how to work with others. It taught me how to be a leader.

It taught me the importance of confidence. It helped me find my way. When people ask me how I ended up in film making I always credit my time at MCHS,” he says.

Rose adds, “I loved my high school experience because I feel like...I was allowed to make my own high school experience and in so I graduated in this very great place feeling very confident on the things that I wanted to do moving forward. And it was awesome!”

That confidence has allowed Rose to write his own rules and be his own boss. He controls 100% of his time, giving him the freedom that many aspire to have, but few actually do.

This is not to say the road to such freedom is easy, especially in an industry as fickle as the arts. Still, Duque-Estrada encourages everyone to participate in the arts on some level: “To engage and/or participate directly with the arts, whether it be at your local museum, watching your favorite episode of a show, going to a big Broadway musical, reading a novel, or taking in some Shakespeare in the park reminds us of the shared human experience through centuries.” For those brave enough to enter this experience as a career, Tsang shares advice she’d give to her 14-year-old self and to all current Mariners: “When it comes to pursuing a career in the arts, you’re going to get rejected. A lot. It’s going to hurt, but nurse those wounds and keep going because it only takes one thing working out to open doors for you. Having said that, don’t base your entire self-worth on your work or output. You’re more than that. Also, there’s some good advice in Baz Lurman’s song ‘Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen).’”

Patience, as they say, is a virtue because waiting for that one thing to work out could be a while. Tsang’s “one thing” came when she got her second gig as a writer on the animated series Adventure Time: Distant Lands. She was in her mid-30s and to her this job meant her success “wasn’t a fluke.” Duque-Estrada didn’t even enter the movie business until well into his thirties when he answered that fateful Craigslist ad.

So don’t despair, Mariners! As we know, there is always hope, so we leave you with these words from Duque-Estrada: “[T]he past few years have been a very trying time for our country and the world.

Out of these dark times will come great and thought-provoking art. I am excited to see what the current generation of Moreau graduates creates out of these tumultuous times. I will, without a doubt, be someone who will read their novels and articles, see them perform in my favorite plays, visit their work in museums as a way for me to continue to expand my view of the world.”

ALUMNI GIVING BY CLASS YEAR The Moreau Catholic Alumni Association continues to build on our efforts to educate alumni on the various funding initiatives of the school. Many are surprised to learn that tuition does not cover the full cost to educate a student throughout the school year. More and more alumni “come back to Moreau Catholic” by answering the call for support for the Annual Fund to benefit the students. We cannot thank our alumni enough for staying involved through their support of the Annual Fund.
