What do you love about Zeeland Christian?
Zeeland Christian is such a unique and special place for many reasons. I am passionate about celebrating who God created us to be and honoring each individual for the role they play in furthering God's kingdom work. Zeeland Christian is a place that embodies this wholeheartedly and strives to live it out each and every day.
Why are you passionate about Christian Education?
As a parent of children at ZCS, the Christian values that are modeled and encouraged by staff and practiced among peers is invaluable to me. I am so grateful that my children are learning about all aspects of life from a Christian perspective. As a staff member, I feel I am able to bring all of myself to my work and speak to the amazing ways that God has worked in my life.
What do you want others to know about you?
I was able to complete my student teaching at Zeeland Christian and haven't left since! I grew up in the Zeeland and am so thankful to be raising my own family here. My husband and I have two boys, Colton and Jace, who attend ZCS. As a family we love to go camping, ride bikes, be outdoors, and play games. I enjoy running and spending time with family and friends.
