Career Path
I was an adjunct at CU for many years, then taught sixth grade at Potter's House Christian School for six years. I was then able to return to CU to teach full time in the Teacher Education Department.
Academic History & Involvements:
I went from adjunct to full-time -so this is my first year as full-time, but since I attended this college and have taught here for so many years, it is a natural fit for me to be here full-time and I love it!
Courses Taught:
I teach Children's Literature, Adolescent Literture, Assessing and Correcting Reading Problems, and Assessing Beginning Literacy.
Personal Information:
My husband is a realtor and is very supportive of my teaching. We have two children. Our son is married and has three children. He has a Master's Degree in Social Work and is employed at Bethany Christian Services. Our daughter is a nursing student at Western Michigan University.
Other Interests & Pursuits:
We are very involved in our church. I was a missionary in Nigeria many years ago, so I love being involved on the Missions Commitee and doing what I can to care for our missionaries. I always rejoice when students share an interest in missions.
Comments:
Making decisions about all the important areas of education can seem overwhelming, but you can trust God to lead you step by step!
