WHY LGCS: I love to see a student feel confident in their artistic creation. The look on their face is priceless to me. It makes me feel passionate about how important the arts are in education. Another area I feel joy about when a student heart truly comes to the Lord.

EXPERIENCE/EDUCATION: I bring to my job as the art teacher at LGCS a variety of life experiences. I started my teaching career in preschool. I have my BA in art and studied pottery in Japan. I was a clothing designer, an interior designer for a firm as well as a commissioned artist for businesses and private collections.

HOBBIES: Love anything to do with the ocean and beaches!! Find free stuff and make it into something fun.

FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE: My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11. When i have had to weather rough patches in my life that scripture has carried me. It reminds me to have Hope in God not circumstances as He holds my future in His hands and not mine.

INTERESTING FACTS: I am married and have two grown children. My daughter attended LGCS and became a missionary for 11 years.I love witnessing for the gospel with Provision International at music festivals like Bonneroo inTennessee.I had a ministry for single moms, some of which lived in their cars.
