Meet Your Instructor:

Hi everyone!

My name is Stacey Littlejohn.  I recently completed my fourth year of teaching at SAC and earned my tenure this year.  I attended Brea-Olinda High School where I graduated in 2005.  I attended Mt. San Antonio College until 2007, then received my Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry with emphasis in Forensic Science from Kansas Wesleyan University in 2010.  I received my Master's of Science in Chemistry with emphasis in Nuclear Forensics from UCI in 2012.  Upon graduating, I taught part-time at SAC, Chapman University, CSUF, and Cerritos College.  In 2013 I was hired full-time at SAC.  I currently also teach at Fullerton College.  

I married my husband CJ Littlejohn on April 2, 2016.  I met him in Kansas, where he played basketball at our rival school, Bethany College.  We bought a house this year and currently live in Fullerton.  My passion, besides teaching and chemistry, is soccer.  I played most of my life.  When I played at KWU, we won conference, regionals, and made an appearance in the national tournament.  I currently play in random adult soccer leagues for fun, and I am also a soccer referee.  I ref club soccer, high school, college, and some semi-pro.  I definitely plan on watching the World Cup this summer! I also love running.  I competed in cross country at KWU.
