I have lived in West Michigan my entire life. I enjoy painting on canvases, spending the day at the beach, and love impromptu adventures. I attended HC and graduated in 2011. In 2015, I graduated from Calvin College’s Elementary Education program with a major in Early Childhood education.

Whether it is a conversation, joining them on the playground, creating art, or building a Lego creation alongside of them, I find abundant blessings through these moments of building relationships with God’s children. Each of the children in my classroom are uniquely created by the Great Maker’s hands. They are His. I value that time I receive to build those relationships with my students and their families. “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.”
