What do you enjoy most about working in Education? Education is more than just conveying content and skills, it’s about investing in the students who are in the classroom. Being a part of PCA allows the opportunity to invest fully in the students that I spend so much time with and to walk alongside them through this stage of their lives. It is a blessing to watch students grow in their skills, their confidence, and most importantly their faith in Christ. I love having the ability to build real relationships with students and to celebrate their accomplishments together here.

Favorite Bible Verse: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

What do you enjoy most about working in Education? I love teaching students how they can make an impact by learning a different language and cross-cultural communication skills to portrait how much God loves the world (John 3:16). Words and languages are one of the basic needs and powerful tools to exist.
