I joined the Our Redeemer Team in 2024, and I feel so blessed to be part of this community. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary and Special Education with a Lutheran Teaching Diploma. My passion for teaching was sparked by the incredible teachers and mentors I had growing up, who shaped my love for learning and showed me the powerful impact a teacher can have. I find joy in building personal relationships with my students, greeting their joyful faces each morning, and connecting with their families. Being part of this faculty has been an impactful and uplifting experience in my life. My favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 43:4: “You are precious and honored in my sight… and I love you.” I strive to live out a growth mindset in all I do. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time in nature—rock climbing, mountain biking, and kayaking—and I have a special love for frogs!
