Life Verse
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Why do you work for Christian Unified?
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.
Interesting Facts
I love reading fiction, going to the theatre, eating, dancing, singing, creating art, journaling, puzzles, travel, doing handstands, and being in nature!
