I was born and raised in the Holland area and graduated from Hope College. I married my husband in 2017. Aside from being passionate about children, I enjoy fitness, crafting, the beach, and being active outdoors with my family.

I am passionate about helping students find the best way they learn. Teaching in ESS fuels my passion for working with students of all gifts and talents. I feel truly blessed by this opportunity to share God’s love to children each day.

My favorite Bible verse is Joshua 1:9. This verse has given me peace, strength, and encouragement through different life experiences. I cannot wait to explore with my students new ways where we can see God in each day. I am excited to help children discover their abilities and how they can use them to glorify God.
