Joined FRCS in August 2008
My favorite thing about FRCS is the relationships I have built with students in the classroom and through extracurricular activities. I have always had a passion for ministry, and teaching brings amazing opportunities to impact students on a daily basis. I also love what I teach and consider teaching a priceless opportunity to pass on a passion for the Word of God and a love and appreciation for music. I enjoy working with fellow teachers that share the same goals of seeking to glorify God and devote their lives in ministry to students, among a community of families that are so supportive and a joy to work alongside. I greatly appreciate the mission of FRCS and its commitment to prepare students of the next generation while giving them many incredible experiences. Finally, I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to use my gifts while learning and growing as a teacher through my years at FRCS.
Five books, other than the Bible, that have impacted my faith or career.
- Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
- The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer
- Radical by David Platt
- Crazy Love by Francis Chan
- Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper
I enjoy spending time with family and love anything in the great outdoors, including hiking, mountain climbing, running, tennis, and all sports! I also love music, drama, reading, travel, and culture.
I am passionate about serving God and His people specifically in the areas of justice work, discipleship and counseling. I always wanted to be a missionary and had the opportunity of living overseas for two years, but have seen God give me many opportunities for ministry right here in my homeland as well. I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home with similar circumstances as many of our FRCS students so I know the challenges and blessings of this type of environment. Though I had a deep passion for God in my early years, I have also faced times of spiritual seeking and dryness. It is my hope and desire to encourage our students in their walk with God as they seek to make faith their own and prepare to face a dark and lonely world in need of the Gospel.
