MY JOY
Spending time with my family, especially outside somewhere beautiful, brings me joy! We love getting outside to go to the beach, go on hikes, and go camping. Being out in God’s beautiful creation restores my soul!
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT FRIENDS
I love that Jesus is at the center of FCS. It is a joy to be able to teach my students each day through the lens of a Biblical worldview. I love the opportunity I have to impact kids and their families for eternity!
FAVORITE SPOT ON CAMPUS
My classroom! I love my “class family” and the time we get to share together each day!
A close second is the Awaken Coffee Shop! I get to take groups of students there who have earned enough gold nuggets for a special treat!
FAVORITE FRIENDS TRADITION
The kindergarten students memorizing Luke 2 and Psalm 23! It is beautiful to see these sweet little ones putting whole passages of scripture into their hearts!
BEST TEACHING MOMENT
Besides praying with students to accept Jesus I loved doing science experiments outside
FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE (OR LIFE VERSE)
Philippians 4:4-8
BEST MEMORY AT FRIENDS
I LOVE worshipping with all of the students at chapel each week. It brings tears of joy as we all sing to Jesus together!
