Classes Taught

Bio:  I graduated from Calvin University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, double majoring in history and religion. I was certified to teach secondary education.  After graduating from college, I taught 5th and 6th grade for a year before diving into my other calling: motherhood. 

I graduated from Heritage almost 30 years ago, and now, I am thankful for the opportunity to teach at the school I loved attending.  I am blessed to teach alongside several teachers who taught me and incited in me the love of learning. All my children have either graduated from Heritage or continue to attend Heritage. 

In my free time, I love hanging out with my family!   We like to bike, hike, play pickleball, ice-skate, snow ski, and run. Oh wait, I’m actually the only person in my family who likes to run!    That’s okay. I really enjoy some alone-time listening to my favorite podcasts.
