My dream of becoming a teacher became a reality after graduating from Anderson University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and an Associate Arts degree in Early Childhood Education.  Upon graduation, I took on the roles of administrator and multi-grade teacher at a small Christian school in Fort Erie, Ontario.  After six years of serving this community, I moved to Olds where I have been blessed to be part of the OKCS family and teaching staff for 29 years.  Since beginning at OKCS, my primary teaching responsibilities have focused on being the Grade 4 homeroom teacher and Grades 5 and 6 Music.  This year, I will be continuing in my role as Vice Principal of in-person students and returning to the classroom to teach Grade 1–2 Music and Grade 4 Math. In the Junior and Senior High, I look forward to working with an expanded Student Leadership Team, as well as serving in the spiritual development of students through the Senior High Retreat and Chapels.  It is my prayer that I will passionately impart God’s truth in practical ways that students can live out daily, instill in each student a sense of the love that God has for him/her as His “fearful and wonderful” creation (Psalm 139), and support each student, along with their teachers and parents, towards spiritual, social, emotional, and academic growth.

In my free time, I enjoy sewing, crocheting, crafting, completing diamond dotz projects, collecting Campbell Soup memorabilia, playing the piano, and listening to music. Being outside gardening, visiting the mountains, and taking walks with my dog, Kia, refreshes my body, mind, and soul.

Growing up in a pastor’s home, the Word of God has always been a central part of my life and surroundings.  One of the many passages that have been meaningful in my life and guided my Christian journey is Proverbs 3: 5-6, which says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
