Why Phoenix Christian?
I enjoy working at Phoenix Christian because it is a place where faith, learning, and community come together in such a meaningful way. The supportive environment encourages both students and teachers to grow academically and spiritually each day. I especially appreciate being able to work alongside caring staff who genuinely invest in the lives of their students. It is also very special to me that my daughter attends this school, allowing our family to share in the same Christ-centered values and experiences. Being part of this community has been both rewarding and encouraging, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve here.

List a favorite Bible verse and why it is a favorite/what does it mean to you.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. – Psalm 119:105

This is one of my favorite verses. When I am doubtful, worried or uncertain about the future, I always think of this verse. When I open His word (the Bible), I know He always promises to lead and walk with us. He gave us His promises in the Bible. We do not walk alone!

I like to play music (piano and guitar) cook and play with my kids when I am not teaching! 🙂
