Education: B.A. in Elementary Education 2004, GVSU
Most rewarding teaching moment: When my students tell me they enjoy reading with me and on their own. Having a love for reading is an important step in comprehension It makes you feel like a difference is being made in their lives.
What do I love most about Lamont? I love the feeling of inclusion. We were warmly welcomed as a family and I was as a faculty member. I also love the emphasis of Christ in the school.
How do I make Jesus Christ real to my students? I try to emphasize that Jesus would want them to do their best in their work with me and in their classroom. I point out to students that God made them exactly how He wanted them to be. He didn't make a mistake and there is nothing wrong with them. Every child is made in His image and has different abilities and strengths and weaknesses. We love that God made us all different!
Favorite Bible passage: Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Favorite hobbies, interests, and activities: Running, reading, cooking and baking, spending time with my husband and 4 girls.
