I was born and raised in Paradise, California, I attended Paradise Adventist Academy from 1st-12th grade. In 2017, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Walla Walla University. Following graduation, I married my husband Austin in 2018, and we returned to California where I began teaching Kindergarten at Orangevale Adventist School. This role allowed me to pursue my passion for educating young children. I've had the privilege of working with students from Kindergarten to 8th grade over the past 7 years, fostering their academic growth and nurturing their spiritual development.
In 2023, our family welcomed a new addition, my son Caden, bringing endless joy and love into our lives. Outside of teaching, I enjoy singing, reading, arts and crafts, exploring the outdoors, and cherishing moments with my family here in Placerville.
My commitment to Christian education extends beyond the classroom. I find deep fulfillment in helping students discover and cultivate a love for Jesus Christ, equipping them with essential skills to become compassionate and contributing members of society.
I have a B.B.A. with an emphasis in Accounting from Pacific Union College. I have been involved in Adventist education for 26 years, serving as an aide, substitute teacher, and treasurer. My three children are all graduates of EAS. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and indulging in crafts. I have proudly been a part of EAS for the past 9 years.
