I am so humbled and honored to serve God's children. Jesus radically changed my heart one hot day in Uganda on a missions trip. From that day forward, I knew my purpose was to work with young children--loving, helping and teaching them in some capacity. After several years of college and different job experiences all in the educational field; I am so thankful Jesus lead me to become a teacher at SCCS. I attended UCI for my Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Psychology and Minor in Education. I also obtained my Master's degree in Early Childhood Education from GCU. My favorite place to be is the beach, although I also dream of being in a wide open pasture with lots of horses and cows. I love to spend time with loved ones, go to the beach and line dance. I would describe my teaching style as child-centered and inquiry-based. My passion is to cultivate a love for the Lord and for learning that lasts a lifetime. This will be my second year teaching TK and I am so excited for what God has in store. To Him be all the Glory!
