I graduated from Hope College with a degree in elementary education. Hope College introduced me to the beautiful west side of Michigan where I fell in love with Holland and decided to stay. I was a swimmer my whole life and I swam all four years of college (Go Dutch!). In my free time I enjoy staying active, paddle boarding, playing sports, and going to the beach. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am grateful God led me to Holland Christian. I believe all children are made in the image of God as they have all been blessed with unique talents. Each year I look forward to learning what makes each of my students special. I am passionate about education and believe a good education is one of the best gifts you can give any child.
