FAITH STATEMENT
    I am an adopted child of the One True King, redeemed and restored by His overwhelming grace. Throughout twists and turns of my life journey, I have seen evidence of His neverending faithfulness. My desire is that my life will be a reflection of the love He has given me and my prayer is that “with every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God.” As a teacher, I love to celebrate the uniqueness God has created in each child and help them learn to worship God by using the gifts that He has given them.

BIOGRAPHY
I grew up in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada and have been involved in Christian education my entire life. I graduated from Dordt University with a degree in Elementary Education, which is where I met my husband, Michael. We have 3 children, and have lived in Iowa, Grand Rapids, and most recently spent 10 years in Minnesota before moving here in the summer of 2023. I have served many roles in Christian schools including substitute, paraprofessional, and teacher. I am thrilled to be a part of the JCS Community and look forward to making new relationships here.
