I feel very blessed and fortunate to be part of such a wonderful faith-based community at FRCS. I am thankful that I am able to share my love for God with my students at the beginning of their own faith journey!
Five books, other than the Bible, that have impacted my faith or career.
- Growing Kids God’s Way by Anne Marie Ezzo and Gary Ezzo
- The Purpose Driven LIfe by Rick Warren
- Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath
- Knowing God by J.I. Packer
- The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel
When I am not at FRCS I love to spend time with my family. We love to go hiking and camping together! I also enjoy gardening and stand- up paddle boarding! I teach piano lessons several afternoons a week, and I love sharing music with my students.
I love animals, and all kinds of insects. I have a mini “zoo” at my house! I have one orange tabby cat named Mr. Kitty, two small parrots – a black capped conure, and a Senegal parrot, three large fish in my outdoor pond, many Japanese trapdoor snails, four box turtles that live outside in a turtle yard that I built, a crested gecko, and a Mexican curly hair tarantula!
