FAITH STATEMENT
God has been teaching me about His incredible grace. His gift of grace is woven throughout my life. As an educator, I try to share the gift of God’s grace with my students. Jesus is the Lord of my life and I strive to reflect the awesome love God has given me. As my students and I learn about and create in God’s creation, we weave God’s grace and love into His world.
BIOGRAPHY
I graduated from Timothy Christian High School in Elmhurst, IL and then I attended Calvin College earning a BA in Special Education with an endorsement in Mental Impairment. After several years of teaching, I obtained my Masters’ Degree from Calvin College in Early Childhood Education. In 2013, I joined the Jenison Christian staff, and I am currently enjoying teaching Kindergarten. I am so blessed to be teaching amazing children for over thirty years.
