I feel very blessed to be a part of New Hope. I graduated from New Hope in 2000. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Family Study from Portland State University, with a specialization with at-risk youth, and received my Master's in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University in 2020.

I started teaching at New Hope in 2016.  I have taught high school classes, was in charge of Student Government, taught Elementary Computers, and worked as the school Registrar.  Since 2019, I have taught 1st grade. I am so thankful for the opportunity to teach at New Hope, because I am able to develop relationships with the students and share Jesus with them.
