I am so grateful to God for his calling to be a teacher. Growing up, my teachers shared Christ’s love with me and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to do the same with my students.
I grew up in Hudsonville, Michigan, and attended Hudsonville Christian Elementary and Middle School and Unity Christian High School. My teachers there were instrumental in my Christian walk. I went on to go to college at Taylor University where I have a bachelor’s in Elementary Education with a minor in music. While there, God molded me to appreciate great Christian community while also being expertly educated in best teaching practices. I did my student teaching at Los Angeles Christian School which was my first experience teaching in a Christian school after attending one for all my life. I loved pouring into my students there. After graduating, I taught 4th and 5th grade at The Potter’s House where I continued in my love for Christian education.
I attend Peace Church, where I am involved in young adult ministry and serve in high school ministry. I have a heart for learning more about theology and God’s word, which is stewarded well by the preaching there.
I married my husband, Quinn, in 2024. We love to play pickleball, hike, and host game nights with our friends.
My favorite chapter of the Bible is Philippians 2 as it encourages me to show the same humility as Christ. He is the perfect example that I long to follow after.
My Deep Hope is that my students would discern God’s perspective as they joyfully join His important renewal work.
I am so excited that God led me back to BCCS.
I grew up in Byron Center, MI. I attended Byron Center Christian School, then South Christian High School, and finished my education at Hope College. I was originally on a different path for my career but could feel God pushing me towards a different road. (I am so grateful He did).
My favorite Bible verse is John 16:33: “I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” This verse helps me to remember God’s plan for us is better than we could ever imagine!
My deep hope is that my students trust in God's specific plan for them to be able to see, shine, and spread God in the world.
