Why do you work for Christian Unified?
I am passionate about being part of a child’s academic journey and watching them grow mentally, physically, and emotionally. I also feel called to walk alongside them in their spiritual growth. Finding Christ transformed my life in countless ways, and I am grateful for the opportunity to help students experience that same hope and joy. I believe Christian Unified is the best place to nurture both minds and hearts, and I’m blessed to be part of this community.
Interesting Facts
I love animals! I have a dog, rabbit, and horse and I also foster dogs. In my spare time I like to go camping and exploring. I’m a bit of a thrill seeker and have gone white water rafting, zip lining, and sky diving. Otherwise, I like curling up with a good book and living those adventures vicariously through the characters!
