Why do you work for Christian Unified?
I choose to work for Christian Unified because I believe in the importance of challenging, strengthening, and encouraging students in their faith at school (where they spend the majority of their day!). I believe that a school environment operating from a biblical worldview is especially important for junior/senior high students, who are often seeking to understand who they are. I am thankful that at Christian Unified, each student is given opportunities to develop a healthy sense of identity in Christ while also building excellent academic skills.
Interesting facts:
• I am from a rural Alaskan village called Mekoryuk, which is located on Nunivak Island (home of the reindeer and musk-ox!) My hometown has a population of 200 and my graduating class had a whopping 4 students.
• I went to Biola University for both my bachelor’s and master’s degree, which is how I ended up in SoCal.
• My husband and I have a Siberian Husky, Mavis! She is very shy and sweet.
• My interests/hobbies include enjoy coffee, baking, Lord of the Rings, and trying out new arts & crafts. Back home I love picking/preserving berries and greens, which involves a lot of fun ATV adventures on the tundra!
