My Story
I have been married to my husband, who is also a teacher at SACS, since 2017, and we have two wonderful boys, Ezekiel and Oliver. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. When I was finishing up at Bethel University, my two options for an internship were San Antonio and Honolulu. While I was hoping for Hawaii, God had a plan for me to settle in San Antonio. After completing my internship at a church, I worked at the church as a children’s pastor, and after a few years, I felt called to move to San Antonio Christian School in 2013. At the time, there was only an assistant position open, so I applied for it. During the orientation period, a kindergarten teacher position opened, and I was able to step in as the teacher. I have been in this position since then. It was amazing to see how God paved the way for me to follow my passion.

What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at SACS?
I love watching children grow throughout the year. It is exciting watching students come to the classroom as nonreaders and then become readers throughout the year. I also love that we get to speak Jesus into the children’s lives. Every lesson is an opportunity to learn about God’s word. In the elementary school we get the opportunity to lay the foundation for the children to love Jesus.
Favorite Bible verse
1 Thessalonians 5:17 – “Pray without ceasing.”
