For you are my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake, you will lead me and guide me. Psalm 31:2 |
| What I enjoy most: |
The most satisfying thing about teaching is having the glorious ability to honor the Lord with my love for education and mathematics. Having the opportunity to be an integral part of a student’s growth and learning, through teaching, edifying, and letting my passion for the Lord shine through, is an incredible gift, in-and-of itself. There is no greater reward than the feeling that you’re truly fulfilling the Lord’s calling for your life, and teaching mathematics to such wonderful students at FCS certainly warrants that feeling for me. I am truly blessed to be a part of such an amazing school! |

| Favorite Bible Verse: |
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 |
| What I enjoy most: |
The challenge of teaching the sciences is that one must encourage students who are confronted with the need to apply knowledge and utilize practiced skills to solve novel problems. The growth of students from anxious, uncertain chemists to confident, capable problem solvers is very rewarding. At FCS, teaching the content is immersed in a matrix that is rich in relationship. I so enjoy getting to know my students and having the privilege of observing their growth in life and, most significantly, in their faith. Many of them become lifelong friends upon graduation. It is wonderful to witness the tremendous men and women they become. |

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:8-9 |
| What I enjoy most: |
My goal as a teacher is for my students to leave my class with a solid foundation of knowledge regarding the area of study we are engaged in exploring. I also desire to impact my students in their walk with the Lord. “Students learn what they care about, from people they care about, and who they know care about them” – Carson. |

| Favorite Bible Verse: |
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 8:35-39 |
| What I enjoy most: |
I enjoy building a relational ministry with the students that I teach, using a passion for fine arts as a vehicle for interaction. All of the world around us is inspired and given life by God.
