Educational Background: Elementary Education BA from Dordt College in 2003, Middle School Endorsement and minor in Music Education
Professional Experience: I taught at Hull Christian School in Hull, Iowa for 5 years. While there I taught 5-8 general music and band. I also was the 6th grade homeroom teacher and taught a variety of subjects in the middle school.
Family: I am married to Brent Philipsen. We have been married for 10 years. God has blessed us with two children, a four-year-old daughter named Rebecca and an 18 month old son named Benjamin.
Faith Statement: God has given me a wonderful calling to teach his covenant children and to help them become wise. This calling is fulfilled in partnership with the home and the church. We work together to "train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not turn from it."
