How did you decide you wanted to work at ICS?

I didn't decide I wanted to work here, God decided it for me! I didn't even know ICS existed when God called me here. 

How long have you been working at ICS?

This is my 26th school year! 

What is your role at ICS? 

Third Grade and Elementary School Level Academic Dean

What do you look forward to the most about coming to work everyday?

I love that I can share my faith with the students as I teach them the skills they will need for life.  As Colossians 1:16-17 states, "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth...He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."  Those verses shape my philosophy of teaching at ICS.

What do you like to do when you're not hard at work?

 I love to cook, camp, take photographs, garden, and watch the Utah Jazz play basketball. 

What is one thing your students and/or coworkers may not know about you? 

Historical fiction is my favorite genre of books and because I grew up in Wyoming, I enjoy hunting.
