I handle…

For the 2026-2027 School Year, I’m excited to be serving at Holy Cross on the Office and Operations team. I look forward to welcoming families to Holy Cross and helping connect them to the resources they need and to serve as a connection point for communication and belonging. I’m also looking forward to supporting our school staff and administrative team by assisting with the many tasks that fill their days, and being a consistent source of encouragement and fun!

Why I love teaching…

I have taught in a variety of capacities over the last two decades, and my favorite part about being in the classroom is the opportunity it provides to encourage students in their individual giftings, and help them know they are seen, known and loved by me and, most importantly, by God. I look forward to applying this same encouragement to the families, students, and staff I serve in my new role in Office Support.

Experience

I have served children and families in a variety of capacities over the last two decades, including in the traditional classroom, early childhood classroom, homeschool co-op classroom, non-profit sector, Christian Camping Association, and in children’s ministry. I have loved every experience along the way, except for the short stint I had in the corporate world :). I’m a firm believer that God gifts each of us with unique talents and strengths, and when we use those gifts to serve others in our professional and personal lives, He aligns our journey with what’s best for us and others.

Where do you see God’s handprints on your job at Holy Cross?

I love encouraging others and using my creativity to help others feel seen, known, and loved. I see God’s handprints all over Holy Cross and I love that I get to serve in a school and faith community that knows and loves their people well. God is doing amazing things at Holy Cross, and I’m here for it!

What’s a secret talent or gift you have?

I am creative, sometimes to a fault. And I have no secrets :).
