Why Do You Choose to Work for Christian Unified?
I believe in the whole-person approach to teaching, but this was never completely true for me in the public school setting. Now, as a teacher at Christian Junior High, I am able to truly fulfill this philosophy of teaching as I can teach academic subject matter, social-emotional concepts, and explore the spiritual life.
Interesting facts:
I am passionate about music and have played guitar since the age of 13. As a pastor’s kid, I began leading Bible Studies and leading worship at an early age. I am also a runner and have run every San Diego Half Marathon since its inaugural race in 2012. I also love to travel, explore, investigate, and learn.
