Why do you work for Christian Unified?
I am privileged to work at Christian Unified. Teaching is my passion and the ability to teach with biblical principles and truths is ideal! I love showing students how God’s truths apply to all aspects of life and all disciplines of education. It is a great privilege to share my faith journey with my students and help them with theirs. Working with Christian students and teachers is a great joy! Christian Unified is a great family to be a part of.
Interesting Facts
My family and I were missionaries in Kenya for 14 years before coming to Christian Unified Schools. We lived and worked at a school for missionary kids called Rift Valley Academy. I am a parent of three amazing kids: I have one son who graduated from Christian in 2022, one son class of 2025, and a daughter class of 2029.
