I spent the first decade and a half of my life moving across the States with my parents as they did inner-city evangelism. Working by their side, I had the unique opportunity to see lives changed and hearts won for Christ. As I grew and matured, the international background of my family propelled me into the field of languages, and I fell in love with the Spanish language from the very first day of class. Inspired to become a Spanish teacher, I pursued a Spanish and Education double major at Walla Walla University and graduated in the spring of 2022. Some of the highlights of my time at WWU were completing a minor in music and studying abroad in Argentina for six months. Because of this latter experience, I have a passion for promoting cultural awareness and empathy, and I am determined to continually grow in my knowledge and ability to bridge cultural divides.
When asked about my hobbies, there is one that stands above the rest. Music has always been a big part of my life and I thoroughly enjoy playing my violin. Arranging music with my piano trio and being part of other musical ensembles is a source of great joy to me, and I love singing and playing in church. Besides making music, I love to travel, ride horses, hammock, and capture God's creation through photography.
I am thrilled to be here at CCA. My goal is for each student to develop a lasting, intimate relationship with Christ and to emerge from this educational experience with a burning desire to share His love with others.

I have always loved school and sports. I started playing on a volleyball team in 7th grade and continued up through junior year during which I also started playing basketball. Senior year I moved schools and they had no ball sports, so I joined acronastics (tumbling gymnastics) and really enjoyed it. During college, I played fast pitch softball for 4 years and basketball for 1.
I graduated from Walla Walla University in 2013 with a major in Religion and a minor in Math with certifications to teach. My first teaching job was at Livingstone Adventist Academy in Salem, Oregon. I taught high school math, religion, and got into coaching volleyball and basketball. I also served at the temporary AD for a year. After three awesome years there, I moved to Fresno Adventist Academy in California. There I taught math and 5-12 band.
After two years in Fresno a job opened up to work full time at a summer camp and retreat center called Leoni Meadows. I have been there for the last 4 years and loving it. During my time there I completed my Masters in Education: Recreation and Sport Sciences. However, I was missing teaching and felt God calling me back to education.
Now here I am. Back to teaching and so thrilled. Teaching PE is going to be a new adventure, but since I am passionate about sports and teaching, it should be a perfect fit. I'm also looking forward to playing my guitar in chapel, coaching some varsity sports, and using all the fun stuff I learned at camp to teach indoor and outdoor adventures.
