I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Math Education. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, music, and theater, as well as hiking, traveling, and spending time outdoors. My husband is the family pastor at Forest Grove RC, and I love being involved in the youth group alongside him. I feel incredibly grateful to be teaching in a place where faith and education come together, and I look forward to building relationships with students and staff in the year ahead.

Biography
Faith Statement
I was incredibly blessed to grow up in a Christian home where my parents not only taught me about Jesus but modeled what it means to live a Christ-like life. Their guidance helped lay the foundation of my faith, and I’m so thankful for the role they played in shaping who I am today. From a young age, I knew I wanted to become a teacher—not just to educate students academically, but to share God’s love with them in meaningful and lasting ways. Throughout my entire educational journey, I attended Christian schools, and those experiences had a deep impact on my faith and my understanding of how God is present in every subject—even math! I love that math reflects the order, consistency, and creativity of our Creator. Whether we’re exploring patterns, solving problems, or seeing how numbers work together, it’s a reminder of how intentional and structured God’s design truly is. I am so thankful that God has led me to South Christian, and I fully believe He has placed me here with purpose. I pray daily for wisdom, patience, and compassion as I seek to be not only a strong teacher, but also a Christ-like example to my students. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them in both their academic and spiritual growth, and I’m excited to see how God continues to work in and through this community.
