I am a West Michigan native who had the opportunity to grow up in Asia, Maryland, and California, and I am grateful to be back home. I graduated from Hope College in 2022 with a B.A. in Neuroscience. After working clinically with children, I felt called to pursue a career in education. I am a science enthusiast at heart and love seeing God’s handiwork revealed through the beauty and design of nature. It is a blessing and privilege to teach third-grade Forest Program, and I am excited to share God’s creativity and wonder with my students. Outside of Holland Christian, I enjoy hiking with my yellow lab, Remy, fishing, trying new foods, coaching soccer, and spending time with family and friends.
