Favorite thing about LCCS: Building relationships with students and helping them fulfill their potential.

Favorite Scripture: Ephesians 3:16-19

While I was working on my PhD., I took a job at CVCA and fell in love with teaching teenagers. I knew that this was my calling, so when my kids were all in school and I was ready to return to the classroom, I was blessed to be able to continue that call at LCCS. My prayer for my students is that they would know Jesus and fall in love with him and follow him.

Favorite Scripture: John 1:2-4

I have worked with kids from Pre-K to high school for twenty-one years. It has always been my heart’s desire to help kids develop a deep relationship with Christ. In 2018, God answered a long awaiting prayer when I was hired as the secondary guidance counselor here at Lake Center. My prayer for our students is that they leave here with a strong rooted relationship for Christ and become amazing disciples for Him.
