Summary

I am looking to work in an atmosphere where people's hearts are filled with Jesus and where education is considered a ministry. A place where leading people, young and old, to Christ is our goal! I believe everything comes from our Lord and Savior and I love teaching that to my students. My lesson plans are Biblically integrated, but often, the integration comes while in the middle of teaching, un- planned. I bring 14+ years of teaching experience, 10 of which have been in Christian education, to CCS. I will use my outgoingness, helpfulness, dedication, and my faithfulness to our Lord and Savior, in whatever is placed in front of me.
