Joining the Ada Christian team feels like a full circle moment for me! I started my journey in Christian education with the Grand Rapids Christian Schools in preschool at Seymour Christian Elementary and graduated from Grand Rapids Christian High School. As a follower of Jesus, I was called to return to my roots here at Ada Christian where I am excited to be a Godly example, while challenging our learners to be servants of Him and models of academic excellence.

I graduated with my Bachelor’s of Arts in Elementary Education from Grand Valley State University and earned my Master’s of Education in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis on Educational Differentiation there as well. I taught 7th grade English language arts for 16 years and spent 2 years extending my expertise in differentiation to grow and support at-risk learners while building leadership in the middle grades. On top of teaching, I have tapped into my experience and altruistic nature to provide instructional coaching and professional development to new teachers.

I cherish time spent with my husband and two children, who I am proud to watch grow in His image. As a former athlete and coach, I find joy in encouraging and supporting my children as they pursue their interests and talents in extracurricular activities. I love spending time in nature, curling up with a great book, and gathering with family and friends. I strive to share God’s love and example in all that I do.
