I graduated from Holland Christian in 1997, and went on to graduate from Calvin University in 2001. I earned my Master of Social Work degree in 2004 from Grand Valley State University and began my career as an in-home child and family counselor. I later spent 15 years as a social worker in Pediatric Oncology at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.

I currently live in Holland with my husband, Chris, and our three children who also attend HC. Outside of school, I love hiking, reading, going to the beach, and cheering on all things sports.

It is an absolute joy to be working in the Holland Christian community and walking alongside these amazing students and their families.
