Why did you become an educator?
I really enjoy children and presenting to them concepts and ideas in many different ways. I love watching them explore and grow while having many “aha” moments!

What is your favorite quote?
“…and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.” -Micah 6:8

What is your favorite book?
There are so many, but I will choose, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. It’s an exciting adventure story that takes place around the early 1800s in France and is filled with mercy, courage, and hope.

What I like most about OLF?
What I like most about OLF is its desire to work for high academic excellence and the strong sense of community based on a shared faith. I love the fact that we are all here to support each other, seeing that everyone has the potential for being their best, while showing kindness and respect for one another.

Outside of school, I enjoy…
Being with my family, being outdoors, spending time with my friends, working in my garden, baking, reading, and I love to travel!
