I am a wife and mother to two children who attend Canyonside Christian School. My daughter is 8 years old and in the 3^rd Grade and my son is 5 years old and in Kindergarten. This is my first year at CCS. I have worked in Special Education for 5 years prior to starting our family. I have an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences. This is my first year at CCS. I love to cook (and eat), read and hike outside.  My teaching philosophy is creating a safe, positive, welcoming environment for students to learn and grow in their knowledge of both academics and Christ. I have been a believer for over ten years and love to learn more about God and Christ every day. I give Christ all of the credit for where I am today and where I will go in the future. My favorite quote is “Christ is my cornerstone”. I am so thrilled to be able to talk about Christ with my students and try my best to be a light for Him.
