Christian Elementary East

I work at Christian Unified to teach children the exciting news of Jesus.—to equip and inspire them to live their lives for the Lord and to tell others all about Him.

Christian Unified is a blessed place. The second you walk on campus, you can feel it. You can see God in the authentic smiles and deep joy from the students. You see Him in the genuine love and concern from the teachers and staff. You see Him throughout the curriculum and discussions around campus. God is here. My two daughters and I were welcomed into the West family with open arms and immediately felt that we were right where we were supposed to be. We were home.

I love teaching Kindergarten. I love the growth that occurs throughout the year both spiritually and academically. I love the energy in the classroom and the joy and pride each child expresses when they learn something new!

I love the Lord and love working with children. Teaching at Christian has given me the opportunity to do both. I have the added bonus of being on the same campus as my children. The ability to work in a Christian environment has been an incredible blessing!

At Christian Unified, I am able to teach in a way that allows a better understanding of this world and a knowledge of our Heavenly Father's constant care.

I choose to work for Christian Unified so I can work with students in a Christian environment and show them God’s love each day. I love working with colleagues where we can pray, and have fellowship with one another too.

I want to help children grow academically as well as in their faith, character, and understanding of God's love.

It is more my nature to teach Biblical truths with academics. I want to be able to incorporate Biblical truths into every lesson, every interaction, every opportunity with students. I want to be in a position where I can help foster a relationship between the Lord and my students and teach in an environment that encompasses the whole child. At Christian, students are known. They are not just occupying a seat, they are recognized, prayed for and cared for.

I choose to work at Christian Unified because I believe that Christian education is a transformative journey that integrates faith, knowledge, and character development.

I choose to work for Christian Unified because I love to serve our community and to pour the Word and love of Jesus into the hearts and minds of the little ones.

My purpose is to build the kingdom of God by training His ambassadors. I love to read, talk walks around my mountain home, garden, and play piano.

Matthew 5:16—"Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

I am originally from a small town in Wisconsin, and grew up there for 16 years. I have lived in San Diego now for 7 years. In my free time I love creating art, drinking coffee, listening to music, going for runs, hiking, playing tennis, and going on trips! My husband Josh and I have been married since August 2022 and we live in Mira Mesa with our dog Snoopy. I am blessed to be able to do what I love, teaching at a Christian school.
