HS SPANISH I and 2 TEACHER
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
C.S. Lewis
I am a recent graduate of Calvin University where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education with a major in Spanish and a minor in English. While in college I participated in an immersion experience that involved living with a Peruvian host family and studying at a Peruvian university for five months. I will also be serving as the freshman boys basketball coach for this upcoming season. I can’t wait for this school year to begin and so I can work, learn, and grow in community here at WMC.
Favorite Scripture:
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Interests
Watching the greatest team in the world dominate in basketball and football (The Michigan wolverines). I spend way too much time managing my fantasy football roster each year. I also enjoy fishing, spending time with family and friends, and competing against others in almost anything.
