I graduated from Calvin College in 1995. I spent the first two years of my career teaching in a Christian school in Indiana. After that, I moved back to Michigan and have been teaching first grade at Holland Christian since.

Teaching at Holland Christian is something I hold dear to my heart. It brings me great joy to serve the Lord through my work here. As I greet children each day, I am given an awesome opportunity to share the love of God with each one; each child is His masterpiece! It is my hope and prayer that through the words I speak, the meditations of my heart, and the actions that I do, God will be glorified and pleased (Psalm 19:14). My desire is for Him. In my life Lord, be glorified.
