I was born and raised in West Michigan, and graduated from Hope College in 2020 with a degree in elementary education and with an emphasis in early childhood education. I have always found joy in sharing my love for Christ with young kids. God has given me a passion to work with children and I am so blessed to teach about our Lord and Savior at Forest School.

Outside of serving at HC I enjoy hiking trails around Holland, playing tennis, going on bike rides, or doing anything in or on the water. I am usually up for anything as long as I am with friends and family. Forest school is a place where I can use my love for the outdoors and my passion for teaching. I cannot wait to learn through God’s creation every day with kindergarteners at Forest School.
