Educational Background & Experience

I received a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Cedarville University in 1998 and a master’s degree in special education from Regent University in 2009.  I have taught for eleven years (6 years in CA, NV and IL and 5 years in the fascinating country of Turkey).  My experience includes teaching 3rd – 5th grade in the regular classroom, serving as a home school teacher for 5th – 7th graders, providing NILD educational therapy, and teaching in an elementary special education classroom.

 

Why do you teach?

 I enjoy helping students meet their full potential in all areas, not just in academics, but also in their spiritual, emotional, and social growth.  I love to learn myself and enjoy teaching students in creative ways. 

 

Why do you teach at FRCS?

I was drawn to FRCS because of the school’s commitment to teaching Biblical standards and to meeting the needs of a diverse population of students.  I moved from the Chicago area to join the staff at FRCS this year.  I have found the staff to be very helpful, friendly, and caring.

 

Passion in Life

I am passionate about learning.  I love to learn more about God, His creation, and the subjects I teach.

 

Hobbies:

I enjoy traveling, hiking, water skiing, cooking, reading, children’s ministry, and missions work.
