Although not set on a career as I entered my freshman year of college, divine leadership opened my heart to the ministry of Christian education in a different way than I had ever before experienced. A passion was born within my soul, and it has carried me to this moment.

Our goal as a family is to serve our Creator so effectively that others are blessed by our lives. We are training our children with that priority as our focus.
2011 Kindergarten Graduation - Pilgrim Christian School |
In 2008, I was honored to graduate from Liberty University with the Master of Arts in Counseling degree. Although education was my chosen undergraduate degree, and my career had followed that course, my heart was drawn to a marriage and family specialization. It was a Providential path, and God is opening opportunities for me to use that knowledge, both in my classroom and in places where women need enlightened and encouraged.
I have been teaching in the Christian day school setting since 1998, and am fulfilled in helping families implement I Timothy 4:7, Ephesians 6:4, and a host of other Biblical training principles
A few of my favorite things:
fall, camping, dark chocolate, blogging, scouring department stores for deals, couponing, studying, singing, playing piano, Jalepeno's Mexican Grill, watching my children excel, staying up too late, being with family and friends, Dutch Blitz (I never win, but it's always fun, especially when combined with staying up too late and being with family and friends!), Biggby coffee, dates with Greg, worshipping with my church family, teaching faith and facts to children, Dr. Pepper, relaxing near a body of water (anything from a mountain stream to the ocean - love 'em all!), Gordon Food Service, the scent and flavor of hazelnut. This list is not exhaustive. :-)
