I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, receiving my education from Timothy Christian School in Elmhurst, Illinois and earning my teaching degree from Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois.

My husband and I had the privilege of sending our two children through the Holland Christian School System and whether it was in the classroom or in the sporting arena we knew they had many opportunities to grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. What a gift!!

I am so thankful to be working alongside students and staff who love the Lord. My goal for each student that crosses my path is to feel loved and to know that they each have special God- given talents and abilities which make them unique. I am looking forward to a wonderful year serving others.
