Where are you from? My family’s roots are in Oklahoma but I was raised in Texas and moved to southern California in high school.  After college I started teaching in Moreno Valley, California then moved to Anaheim.  I met my husband on a blind date set up by my sister.  We fell in love, married and moved to Browns Valley from Irvine.  I taught at Bear River in Wheatland until we adopted Zach and I switched my focus to being a full-time mom.

Our son Zach attended Faith Christian for 11 years and I enjoyed being a parent helper and room mom during his time here.  I have been a substitute teacher at FCS Elementary for the last couple years.  Now that Zach is in college I asked God what was next - Mr. Hannold called a few days later - here I am!

What is your favorite meal?  Grandma Mary’s Oklahoma chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, fried okra, peach cobbler and iced tea

What is an interesting job you have had in the past?  In college I worked at Disneyland inside Fantasyland selling hamburgers and Welch’s grape juice in the castle.  I met many interesting people and even enjoyed canoe races around Tom Sawyer Island at 6am.

If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?  I love humpback whales.  I would love to see them in their habitat with their babies in Baja or Alaska.

What do you like to do in your spare time?  Hang out with my family, shop, read and visit my family in southern California

What is your favorite Bible verse? “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

The best part about following Jesus is...less of me and more of Him.  I like to be in control, but following Jesus, I find the more I give back to Him and let go, the more I am blessed - it’s amazing!

What church do you attend?  I attend Loma Rica Community Church where I have been involved in the preschool program. I have also been a preschool teacher and class administrator for the Yuba City Bible Study Fellowship.

What do you love most about your area of service at FCS?  I love praying with the kids at FCS!  I taught in public school for 18 years and was frustrated many times that I could not share my faith.  I love the freedom to talk and teach about Jesus and pray with students when they are sad, have a stomachache, and/or praise Him for a job well done.

How have you been ministered to here at Faith Christian?   I am blessed every Friday in chapel!  I am overwhelmed to see K-3rd students worshipping our Lord - hands raised, singing and praising Him.  I am blessed by all of the chapel speakers!  There is always a nugget or two for the class as well as for me!  Recently, I could not believe the great response in giving to the help ACSI Schools in Haiti - that’s what makes our school so wonderful, praising God and giving back to His little ones!
