Personal

Having grown up at the Michigan Christian Youth Camp, I have always enjoyed exploring God’s creation. I am privileged to get to continue that exploration and help create a passion in others to do the same. As an educator, I am passionate about finding the most effective ways to create a thriving learning community.

My interests include spending time with my family, hiking, playing various instruments, and serving the church. I serve on the leadership team at Valley Church-Burton and participate as a worship leader.
