I handle

I handle our first-grade friends — nurturing young minds through foundational academics, faith-based and hands-on learning, and daily encouragement. I help students grow in confidence, curiosity, and character.

Why I love teaching

I love teaching because I get to witness the joy of discovery as children grow academically, spiritually, and socially. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a student light up with understanding and knowing I’ve helped plant seeds of faith and learning that will last a lifetime.

Experience

– Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary and Special Education with minors in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Applied Behavior Analysis
– Master’s Degree in Educational Supervision and Administration

Where do you see God’s handprints in your job here?

I see God’s handprints in the small, everyday moments — in a child’s kind words, a breakthrough in learning, or the way students pray for our class. His presence is clear in the growth, joy, and love that fill our classroom and school.

What’s a gift or secret talent you have?

I am very creative, whether that is in the classroom or at home. I have not found many DIY projects that I can’t do. I love creating fun learning environments with classroom transformations!
