Encouragement

For the first time, women have won the Super Bowl as coaches! And our alumna, Maral Javadifar '04 is one of them!

Proud of all our alumni, we applaud Maral Javadifar from the Class of 2004 who made history at Super Bowl LV as one of the first women to coach a winning team! An honors student and talented basketball player, Maral is an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs swept the Chiefs in Tampa 31 -9.

Our young, St. Mel Wildcats look forward to meeting Maral and seeing her “victory ring” on her next visit home. Way to go, Maral!
