Biography
I graduated from
Calvin College in 2006 with double major in Elementary
Education and Fine Arts. After college I worked for one
year as a full time substitute teacher at schools in the
Grand Rapids, MI area. In the spring of 2007, I was offered
a position to teach 2nd grade here at San Jose Christian
School, and I am looking forward to my second year here.
Personal Biography
I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan
in a family of five. I have been blessed to attend Christian
schools all my life. My husband, Jeremy, and I have been
married since June 2007. When I’m not working, I
enjoy traveling, being crafty, reading, and cooking. I
attend San Jose Christian Reformed Church, where I enjoy
being involved with small groups.
Christian Philosophy of Education
My philosophy of Christian Education
stems from a belief that we are called to live in this
world as transformers of culture and creation. We are
called by God to learn about His world and to be a light
in it. I believe that in my classroom, students should
feel like they are part of a community. I want my students
to feel encouraged in their faith along with their learning.
As Christian educators we should each strive to work with
parents and churches to give each child the support that
they need to grow and learn in and outside of the school
setting.
