Meet Your Instructor:

Hi everyone!

My name is Stacey Littlejohn and I am entering my sixth year teaching at SAC.  I received tenure last 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 last 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.  Our team was also recently named to the Hall of Fame at our university.  I miss playing competitively, but I like to play in an adult Sunday league for fun. I am also a soccer referee.  I ref club soccer, high school, and college.  I also love running.  I competed in cross country at KWU.  We are expecting our first child, a girl, due in October.  We are so excited!
