Professional Biography

I graduated from Calvin College in 2002. While growing up and sitting in a classroom, I always pictured myself to be what my teachers were to me. My two favorite subjects were Phys Ed and Psychology, so it seemed obvious to major and minor in those two fields.

Personal Biography

I married my husband, Tony, in 2003. We have 2 boys with a third child due in April and live in Alger Heights. I enjoy being with my family and friends, exercising, and coaching.

Faith

I feel God led me to teach at South Christian High School to use the gifts he has blessed me with and to be a Christian educator and role model to the students here. I love my job; it can’t get better than what I do! I love being active and educating students to understand and achieve life-long fitness and learn not only why, but how, to be active individually, recreationally. I love watching students improve physically and mentally over the course of a quarter or semester. I also love the relationships I form with my students—one of the most important parts of why I do what I do. The objective of my career is to encourage my students to take care of the body they have been blessed with. God has provided each of us different physical abilities and I want my students to do their best with what they’ve been given.
