I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Math Education from Calvin College in 2003 and began teaching math at South Christian that fall. I later received my Master’s degree in Math education from Western Michigan University. I married Kyle in 2004 and we have been blessed with three children: Caleb, Joselyn and Kendall. We now spend most of our time away from work together as a family playing outdoors, reading books, and keeping up with the kids’ school activities and sports games and practices. I also enjoy running or biking for occasional moments of quiet, outdoor activity.
