My husband Gary and I have three children who all attend GCS.  Hannah is a 
senior, Cameron is a freshman, and Clara is in 5th grade.  We attend 
Bethany Baptist Church in Grand Blanc.  I LOVE to teach and I love the 
students here at Genesee Christian.  I attended Central Michigan University 
and received a B.S. in Education with a major in Speech and a minor in 
English.  I currently am certified to teach those subjects in Michigan in 
grades 7 through 12.  I attended graduate school for two years at CMU in 
Speech Communication and recently I earned a Masters in the Art of 
Teaching from Marygrove College. I am looking forward to another exciting 
year at GCS!  I am difficult to reach by phone, but please feel free to 
leave me a message or email me from my homepage, using the icon at the top
right of the screen.  I am looking forward to getting to know all of you
better this year!

Personal Mission Statement

  My mission is to help students at Genesee Christian reach their potential 
through the power of Christ.
  I will encourage and challenge each one, academically, socially, and 
spiritually, recognizing that success and the path TO success may be 
different for each one.  
  I will be attentive to my own actions, thoughts, and words, knowing that 
my own daily walk serves as a model to my students.  
  I will show love and understanding regardless of individual differences, 
because each student is created with a unique, God-given purpose and plan. 
  I will continue to grow and learn from my students even as they grow and 
learn from me.
