Biography
My professional
background lies in Germany, where I graduated with a degree
in banking that is comparable to a Bachelor's. In 2003
I volunteered my services as a librarian when the school
was in need of one. In 2004 I was brought on as an official
staff member and have served in the librarian position
ever since.
Personal Biography
I grew up in Germany as the oldest of
five siblings. My husband and I met in high school and
got married in 1990. In 1994, the adviser for his PhD
was moving to the United States and asked my husband whether
he wanted to come along. We agreed and moved in December
of 1994 with two little kids. We’ve had two more
kids here—both of whom are still students at SJCS.
Besides being a mom and working as the librarian, I enjoy
many activities—reading is obviously one of them.
I listen to kid's audio books on my exercise machine and
read other books in the hot tub. Running, cooking and
knitting are some of my favorite things to do, but what
gives me the most energy is getting together with friends.
Christian Philosophy of Education
I try to instill in the students a love
for reading that will pave the way for them in their academic
careers and bring them lifelong joy. Through the many
different stories they encounter, kids will learn about
life and how to find their way to becoming the person
God intends them to be. Reading Christianly means reading
actively, and I encourage the students to be critical
thinkers about both the technical quality of the literature
they read and the themes put forth in these works. This
way, whether students read specifically Christian texts
or those written from a secular perspective, they will
be able to interact with the books within the context
of a Christian worldview.
