I received my B.A. in elementary education from Calvin College and my M.Ed. in K-12 Library/Media Services from Grand Valley State University. Before coming to South Christian, I was a third grade teacher as well as a P-8 Media Specialist. After teaching in an elementary classroom for a few years, I chose to pursue my master’s in library/media services because I never saw myself being a lifelong classroom teacher but wanted a role where I could still be interacting with students and impacting their lives in an educational setting. Along with being the media specialist, I teach computer classes and am in charge of South’s social media accounts. I enjoy watching and/or participating in sports, reading, crafting, and traveling.
