Hi! I am married to Brenden, who is the pastor here at Lutheran Church of Our Savior. We have two littles, Eden and Cana, who bring so much light and joy into our lives. Since we've been married, we've lived in four states and are so excited that God led us to settling here in Santa Maria. We love going to the beach, hiking, finding new playgrounds, and spending our afternoons in our backyard gardening. I have been working with early childhood for the past ten years in a variety of setting and have a Bachelors Degree in Childhood Education, with a minor in Theology. I enjoy attending conferences and continually learning the best practices in nurturing little ones in every way.

My Philosophy:

I believe strongly that each child is a unique and unreproducible miracle of God. I am constantly reminded that each child is wonderfully different- and education should reflect that. I believe that every child is an individual who brings their own God-given gifts and strengths to the classroom.
