Life Verse
Galatians 1:5 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. “
Why do you work for Christian Unified?
I love teaching Spanish and I love Jesus so Christian High is a great place for me to teach Spanish and share the love of God. Plus, I have always had a heart for adolescents and have been involved in Jr High/High School ministry for many years. I also love the community that comes out of working alongside other brothers and sisters in Christ.
Interesting Facts
I have 4 brothers and I am the only sister and we are very close in age and close in our love for each other.
I am very competitive and love sports.
I hope to visit every Spanish-speaking country before I die.
