Teaching at Ada Christian School provides me with the opportunity to help young children grow in their faith and develop their God-given identity during such a formative season of life. I love using everyday moments and experiences to point students to our Creator. It is a joy to help lay the foundation for students' spiritual, academic, and personal growth.

I graduated from Baker College with an Associate of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education. Through my education and classroom experiences, I have developed a passion for creating engaging, nurturing learning environments where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing tennis and pickleball, boating, snowboarding, and reading.

My favorite Bible verse is 1 John 4:18-19, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us."
