I was born and raised in Florida and attended Palm Beach Atlantic University. When I was in my twenties, I moved to Chicago where I met my husband, Daniel. After living in Chicago, Florida, and New Hampshire, we moved to Daniel’s hometown of Holland, Michigan, in 2007. I knew early in my life I wanted to raise and work with children. I have spent my entire adulthood doing just that! I stayed home to care for our six children (five daughters and a son) and once they were school age, I started working part time in children’s ministry. In 2017, I began working in the ESS department at Holland Christian. I love coming to work each day and I find it very rewarding to help our youngest learners grow academically, socially, and spiritually!
