Christian Jr/Sr High School

My heart is to glorify God by teaching and creating excellent music and seeing students' lives transformed by God's love through discovering the reality of a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
I choose to work at Christian Unified Schools because I believe in our "mission" of teaching students to think, learn and live from a Biblical worldview. I consider it a blessing to be part of training up the next generation for Jesus at Christian Unified! And, I love my spiritual family at CUSSD!
I grew up going here for my entire life, and I appreciated being brought up in a Biblical world view. I want that for the next generation, especially after student teaching in a public school where immorality was the norm.
I work for Christian Unified because I believe in their mission to educate students academically and spiritually. It’s an amazing campus with an incredible administration and staff!
I love to share the wonders of history with my students...to show how the hand of God has influenced our world. I also want to share my life experiences as a teacher, coach, college student, father, and soldier to help the students be more well rounded individuals.
I believe that God literally called me here. My heart is to help the American youth, and Christian Unified is the best place to do so.
I love power carving and taking pictures. I retired from the Navy in Sept 2022 (22 years).
I love coffee, dark chocolate, and have been learning embroidery and gardening. My husband, Christopher, and I have been married since April 2022 and we live in El Cajon. I am blessed to be able to teach what I love at a Christian school and live by God's grace each day!
I enjoy spending time with my husband, three daughters, and three dogs. I especially love gardening, reading, attending theatre productions, Bible-journaling, and hanging out at the beach. I love coffee, Mexican food, and the color purple.
I grew up in San Diego, served a short time in the Army, went to Vanguard University. I've coached a number of sports, my favorite is basketball. I have 3 daughters that play on the soccer team.
James 1:12 ... "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to ...
I chose to work as a counselor in order to help kids discover their strengths and talents. Each student comes to school with different motivations. My job it is help students discover their interests and to support their goal formation while building a plan for the future.
I teach because it fills me so much joy to pour into the lives of children. At Christian I have the opportunity to share God’s word and speak Truth to the students. There is nothing more rewarding than to see children enjoy the subject I am teaching, and incorporate their Christian faith into what they are doing.
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.
This is where God calls me to be. It is such a joy watching young souls and minds grow into the young adults God has created them to be. It's a joy to see students learn, succeed, and flourish and I love ASL and Jesus. So what better place than CHS to do what I love, teaching who I love, to serve the One I love.
