Professional Biography

I graduated from Dordt College (Sioux Center, IA) in 1993 with a BA in K-12 Choral Music Education and an emphasis on Organ Performance and Liturgy. In 1994 I answered God’s call to teach music and Bible at San Jose Christian School. While at SJCS my training expanded to include an M.A. from Western Theological Seminary in 2021, administrative development (Educational Leadership Development Institute in 2018 and Principal Development Institute in 2022, both led by Christian Schools International), spiritual formation (Kuyers Institute at Calvin College & Vantage Point), Love and Logic (Chapman University), and Step Up To Writing Trainer of Teachers. I currently serve as Teaching Principal in the areas of JK-8 teacher leadership, faith integration, curriculum development, student support, and teacher (8 Bible, 6 History, MS Grammar, Intro to Middle School). In addition to teaching at SJCS, I play organ once a month at Presbyterian Church of Los Gatos.

Personal Biography

I was born and raised in Oskaloosa, Iowa with my parents, two sisters, and a host of farm animals. My dad was a dairyman with 160 acres. I am still a farm girl at heart and love gardening and hiking. I enjoy talking on our patio swing with the people I love most, putting together jigsaw puzzles, baking rhubarb pie, and being at the ocean. My two daughters and I worship at Palo Alto Christian Reformed Church where we love to worship, study Scripture, sing, and experience Christian community.
