I’ve been an LCA parent since 2012, began teaching here in 2018, and began coaching in 2021. I have 3 active kids, all high schoolers at LCA. My husband and I are avid Chiefs fans! We love to BBQ, hang out by the pool, and we love cheering on our kids in their respective sports, theater, and academic endeavors.
“Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.” Job 11:7-9
We are infinitesimally small compared to our God, yet we are infinitely, unmeasurably loved and valued by Him.
BS in Biology from the University of Tulsa.
My favorite teacher in JH was my 7th grade English teacher. At 4’11”, she was incredibly intimidating, as she was notorious for jumping on her desk and throwing erasers at sleeping or disrespectful students. She taught by repetition…ad nauseum! Decades later, I still remember that she taught us so much – from constructing complex and interesting papers, to reciting prepositions, helping verbs, and linking verbs, to diagraming sentences! She made a lasting imprint on many students!
My favorite teacher in HS was my honors physics teacher. He challenged and inspired me beyond what I thought I was capable of learning. He taught me that it was OK to learn something and not fully understand it YET. He taught me that the understanding will come eventually if you give it time to soak in and just keep trying.
I try to model my classroom after theirs, sans the intimidation or projectile erasers. 
The things I cherish most about LCA are the relationships we’ve built over the years. Not only have my kids made life-long friendships here, but I’ve made them, too. I love knowing that we are like-minded in building up Warriors for Christ, whether in the classroom, on the field/court/track, in the carpool, or at home.
