MY JOY
Being with my husband and 3 kiddos brings me joy! I love spending time with them. I also love being at church. Our church community is our extended family.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT FRIENDS
I love the “Friends Experience.” It really is something you have to experience to understand. The teachers have loved my kids so well and are pouring into them every day. A couple of years ago when we were going through a difficult time, my kids’ teachers were their consistent sources of hope and joy. The community at Friends is unlike any other.
FAVORITE SPOT ON CAMPUS
The playground! The kids are having so much fun!
FAVORITE FRIENDS TRADITION
I love the middle school talent show! The students are all so talented and the audience does an incredible job of encouraging the performers. It’s such a positive experience.
BEST TEACHING MOMENT
My favorite class to teach was 6th grade Bible. It was so much fun to explore the New Testament books with my students. God’s Word is so powerful and active!
FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE
Proverbs 3:5-6
BEST MEMORY AT FRIENDS
My favorite memory at Friends is when we went to Baja, Mexico with a team of parents, students, and teachers to build two homes for people in need. It was incredible to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we changed their lives forever. Every year I am blown away by the generosity of FCS families who give sacrificially to impact a family they don’t even know!
