Years at OCCS: 5 years

Education Background: I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in Middle School Mathematics and Language Arts. I graduated from Dordt University in 2022.

Professional Experience: I began my teaching at Orange City Christian School, where I completed my student teaching during the 2021–2022 school year. After graduating from Dordt University in 2022, I joined the OCCS staff and have entered my fifth year of teaching at OCCS. I currently teach middle school math and have had the opportunity to teach grades 6th-8th.

Family: I am married to my husband, Luke, and we have two children, Kenna and Kash.

Faith Statement: My deep hope is that each student will develop a personal relationship with the Lord and build a firm foundation rooted in Jesus Christ. I pray that the foundation students' receive at OCCS will guide them as they discover and pursue God’s calling for their lives. Christian education plays an integral role in the faith formation of the children we are teaching. I believe there is no such thing as a neutral education—everything we teach shapes the way students understand themselves, the world around them, and their place within God’s story.
