Dr. Sturchler

Working alongside Dr. Sturchler over the past year has been refreshing to see her enthusiasm on tough subjects like End of Life conversations, maintaining dignity and quality of life in the middle of medical, emotional and psychological crisis.

Seja Patel, Physician Advisor

I had the privilege to work alongside Maria during Pediatric ICU rotation at CHOC Children’s. She was very enjoyable to work with and approachable. Her passion to learn, teach and care for others shined as she dealt with patients and families during difficult times. I would be happy to work with Maria in the future and know that she would be a great asset to anywhere she worked.

Brianna O., Registered Nurse

Maria is an outstanding teacher who truly cares about those in her charge. I cannot give enough superlatives to describe her work. She is simply tremendous.

Jon Prince, St. Lucie Public Schools

…Her leadership was evident as she started the Math Counts program and led the student government program. Dr. Sturchler would take on multiple assignments and did so with a great work ethic and positive attitude. She always would go the extra mile and constantly reflected on best practices and made adjustments when needed.

Dr. Denise Spirou, Director of Admissions
