Even as an adolescent I could be regularly found with gaggles of children at my ankles. I have always enjoyed working with children and have been truly blessed to be a member of the faculty here at St. Paul Lutheran School since 2001. I love our students’ enthusiasm for learning and their creative spirits. I am truly blown away daily by their profession of faith in what they say and do. And I am uplifted by our staff who truly loves, cares, and prays for one another regularly. As a graduate of a Lutheran grade school, high school, and one of our synodical colleges, Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota, I have the distinct privilege of understanding the benefits of a Christian education, and the sacrifices families make to give their children such an opportunity. Through my graduate studies at the University of South Florida I have met many outstanding educators in our county and have seen many excellent educational practices, yet I have never experienced anything quite like St. Paul Lutheran School. I consider myself very blessed that my three young boys are now also part of the St. Paul Lutheran family.

I am very excited to begin my teaching career at St. Paul Lutheran School. I believe teaching is a calling from God and I am proud to work at a school centered on God’s word. I graduated from the University of South Florida and have been a substitute teacher for the Polk County School Board for five years. My husband is a Lieutenant for the City of Lakeland Fire Department. We have two young boys, who I am proud to bring to this wonderful school.
