About Me
An Ordained Minister with the Assemblies of God, I additionally hold degrees in the field of education and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Education through Evangel University.
A teacher by calling my deepest desire is to share a passion of Biblical Literacy and authentic discipleship. I bring a uniquely feminine, often unheard, perspective to conversations regarding all areas of education. I have been blessed to lead within varying levels within the classroom and the local church from small groups, Youth, Children’s Church, and Women’s Ministry.
In my personal life I have known the pain of divorce and now the joy of a marriage rooted in Christ and peace. It is my greatest privilege to be a mother through adoption. My husband, daughter, and I reside in NW Iowa.
