Christian Jr/Sr High School

I choose to work at Christian Unified because the Lord placed a call on my life to minister to the next generation. I love seeing the Lord transform the lives of middle and high school students for His Kingdom. It has been so encouraging seeing the movement of God within our next generation!

To be able to share both my faith and my love for literature freely with students is an inexpressible blessing!

I love the Word of God and have a passion to disciple the youth.

I love watching movies with my family, reading God's Word, watching sports especially soccer (go Barcelona!) and the UFC, listening to music, and working out. I was going to be an F-16 fighter pilot, marine biologist, or a lawyer before I became a teacher. Christian and K-pop music artists are my favorites and athletes such as Cris Cyborg and Lionel Messi.

Because I have a counseling background as well, I find teaching incorporates many of my skills and gifts. One of the beauties of teaching literature is in the ability to provoke thoughts about beliefs, evaluate decisions by characters, and value objective truth.

An education without knowing our Savior is of very little value. I believe that education must be grounded in Truth and teaching at Christian Unified allows us that opportunity.

Interesting facts: I went to Christian High School, and four different family members have taught at CHS. I've coached and played basketball for CHS. I have 5 kids that attend Christian Unified.

I love watching the students grow and mature in their faith and walking alongside them and their families on their education journey.

I graduated from CHS in 1992 and still remember the impact that many of the teachers had in my life. In fact, one of my teachers (Miss Wagner) was the reason I made a career in science.

I love art and have wanted to be a teacher since I was in second grade! It brings me such joy to be able to do both of these things every day while also sharing my faith with my students. That "Aha!" moment when a student gains understanding and mastery of a new technique or skill is such a privilege to witness and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing students express themselves creatively and show pride in what they have learned and accomplished.

I love to be outdoors whenever I can and also love to watch movie at home as much as I like being outdoors. I speak fluent Korean so watching K-drama is also something I like to do. Also, I love all kinds of food!

My life calling is to train the next generation - as a teacher in a Christian school, I am able to fully explain God's Providence through historical events.

I am passionate about helping students develop strong leadership skills, adapt to ever changing circumstances, and pursue the Lord like they never have before.

I choose to be an educator at CUSSD because I believe in honing a child in a holistic approach whose foundation is the word of God. It gives me pure joy knowing that I can use my God-given talents and skills in an institution where God is lifted high!

I chose to come to Christian Unified because I am so captivated by the wonderful presence of the Holy Spirit on this campus. It is a privilege to come to work everyday with people who love Jesus and want to serve Him by pouring into the lives of these amazing students.
