Why Phoenix Christian?

In many ways, I feel like Phoenix Christian chose me. This is my first year stepping into a school leadership role, but I believe I’ve been positioned for such a time as this. God has been preparing me through every chapter—as a teacher, counselor, therapist, coach, and even as a worship leader—to lead with both compassion and conviction. 

 

I am passionate about creating spaces of belonging where students and staff feel safe to show up as their full, authentic selves. There’s no better place to cultivate that than Phoenix Christian—a school where Christ is the cornerstone. Since God is the foundation of who I am, it only makes sense to build my leadership journey on a foundation that’s aligned with Him. 

 

At Phoenix Christian, I’m not just stepping into a job—I’m stepping into a calling. And I’m honored to grow as a leader in a place where faith and education go hand in hand.
