Personal Biography:
I grew up in Southern California, but my family now lives in Ripon. I am the second of five children and love spending time with them all! I enjoy reading, running, riding my bike and doing things with my friends when I am not working. I attend San Jose Christian Reformed Church.
Christian Philosophy of Education:
As an educator in a Christian school I feel that it is a privilege and honor to be able to share my love of Christ with my students. Teaching in a Christian school allows me to show my students the complete sovereignty of God in every aspect of life and to partner with the home and church to educate the whole child that God has created. Working together, we can lead children to develop their gifts, talents and knowledge so they can honor and praise God in their lives.
