Professional Biography: 
I completed my BA in Education from the University of Phoenix in 2006.  My background is in Operations for the high tech industry with various companies from software to semiconductor.  Prior to joining SJCS, I worked as a Program Manager at Cisco for eight years.  My goal is to teach, and I’m working towards completing my credential through Western Governors University.

Personal Biography: 
I grew up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and work brought me to San Jose in 1994.  In 2002, my husband, Peter, and I were married.  Peter is a local boy and attended school on our campus, formerly Dover School, when he was a kid.  We have two boys—Carson who is 5 years old and Mason who is 3.  Carson is in Miss Braaksma’s Kindergarten class this year, and Mason will attend one more year at Promise Land Preschool before he starts Junior Kindergarten next year.  My favorite activity is dirt bike riding, but I also enjoy reading and movies.   I am a member of Cambrian Church where I often have the opportunity to teach Sunday school to K – 3rd graders.

Christian Philosophy of Education:  
Christian education not only focuses on academic excellence, but it also addresses the importance of morality.  Theodore Roosevelt said it so well, “To train a man in mind and not in morals is to train a menace to society.”  I strive to teach the importance of putting the welfare of others first and how meaningful and rewarding it is to being committed to serving others.  I am especially proud to be a part of San Jose Christian School's Extended Care program because unlike other daycare programs, at SJCS daycare and summer camp are a direct extension of the school with the same mission, goals and objectives, to nurture Christian values in our students.  The Extended Care staff encourages all students to demonstrate respect and self-control; to be considerate and kind; and to follow the Golden Rule as found in Matthew 7:12:  “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
