I attended Millikin University in Decatur, IL. for my bachelor’s degree in secondary math education. I also hold a Master of Education from Concordia University in Portland, OR.

I love working alongside OCS families to help their students grow academically and spiritually.

I grew up in a Christian home and believed with a childlike faith from a young age. When my brother was diagnosed with leukemia, I tried to be perfect so my parents would never have to worry about me.

By the time I reached 13 years old, I had realized it was impossible to be perfect, and I needed a savior. I begged God’s forgiveness and accepted his gift of grace. My faith continues to grow throughout the seasons of life, even now with my loving husband and our three sons.

We attend Open Door Bible Church in Port Washington. God has called me to be his disciple, and I bring that attitude to the classroom as we explore real world applications alongside our curriculum.

In my spare time, I enjoy singing, songwriting and playing the guitar.
