“I believe that children should be given the opportunity to grow from a Christian perspective in their relationship with their Lord, their family, their peers and their response to the world around them. My responsibility is to teach in a Christ-centered classroom as well as to strive to lead by Christian example."

“I want to provide the best Christ-centered education I can with the resources available to me.  In as many classes as possible, I try to incorporate hands-on activities because I believe students better understand what they can touch and see. One of my goals is to help students develop a love for science and to see how important it is to their life and their faith.”

“All children have different learning styles and it’s my responsibility to find out how each child learns best…While it is important to reach students academically, it is equally important to help them grow socially strong and emotionally stable...And the ability to reach a student on a spiritual level is the most awesome part of teaching.”
