Biography
I graduated from
Dordt College (Sioux Center, IA) in 1997 with a double
major in Elementary Education and Special Education. I
began my teaching career at San Jose Christian School
as the 4th grade teacher. I taught 4th grade for four
years, a 3rd/4th combination class for two years, and
then switched to my current position of computer teacher.
This will be my fifth year in that role.
Personal Biography
I was born and raised in Ripon, CA.
My parents and 3 brothers—two older and one younger—all
live in the Central Valley with their families. My husband,
Nathan, and I have 3 children. I enjoy traveling with
my husband and family, gardening, photography, and reading.
I am a member of Palo Alto Christian Reformed Church.
Christian Philosophy of Education
I believe that our entire world belongs
to God and that we are His image-bearers. As a Christian
educator, it is my job not only to reflect this in my
teaching, but to be a walking example of Christ and to
model Him in all that I do. I want to show my love for
Christ through my words and actions. In the specific area
of computers, we know that computers and the Internet
each have a profound effect on our culture. I want to
teach my students to use these wisely and in a way that
honors God.
