Favorite Bible Verse:
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'” Jeremiah 29:11
I was born and raised in Wausau, Wisconsin, and I am happy to be teaching another year in Wisconsin Rapids. I feel blessed to be a part of the Immanuel family, serving as the 6th grade homeroom and Middle School English Language Arts teacher. What an awesome opportunity it is to share my passion for learning and Christ with my students each and every day! When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy watching my favorite reality TV shows, reading, shopping, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, and spending time with friends and family.
Our school’s theme this year is “Endure” (Hebrews 12:1-3). Briefly share a time in your life when you felt you needed the endurance that only God can provide. How can you use your experience to share God’s love with the students and families in our school?
My vehicle is from the early 2000s, and I have had to endure many a time where I wasn’t sure if my car would get me to my destination. It has survived hitting a deer, a perpetually lit check engine light, ratchet straps holding up the bottom, and being broken down and towed a time or two! God has provided me with safe travels, helpful friends and family, and the means to get to and from work. Until the time I am ready to upgrade, I know that God will help me endure driving my “rust bucket” (as some of the kids like to call it).
If you could hire someone to do any one thing for you each week what would it be and why?
Easy: I would hire a private chef. I love to eat, but I’m not a fan of doing the dishes or any actual cooking.
