Profile

Upon graduating from Evangel University (a Midwestern University where I met my husband), I relocated to Houston, TX and began my teaching career. My first few years of teaching were in an inner-city school district in Pasadena, Texas, before we moved back home to York, PA. I then began teaching for Southwestern School District in Hanover, PA. After taking a hiatus from teaching to raise my incredible seven children, I began working at Messiah in 2016 in various capacities. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Messiah community. I do not take lightly the calling that God has placed on my life. I feel He has called me to be in a position of “servant-leadership” and to have a positive influence on the lives of the students I teach.


In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, vacationing, scrapbooking, doing triathlons, and cheering on my kids in their sporting events.
