Why you love working at CFA:
I first came to CFA, when my oldest daughter was 2 years old. My husband and I were looking for not just a good school, but a a school that taught the Word of God. It was important to us that our kids had a great academic but also Christian foundation. As our daughters have gotten older, we have seen the impact that CFA has had on them. From the friendships they’ve made to the teachers and staff that have poured their love on them. I loved it so much, that I desired to be a part of it. And so I joined the CFA family not just as a parent but also as an employee. It truly is a special Christ-centered community that feels like family. I couldn’t ask for a better place for me and my family.

Life Bible Verse:

Brief educational/department philosophy:
As a preschool librarian, I believe in creating a warm and welcoming environment where children can enjoy and discover the love of reading while learning about the Word of God. Kids are naturally curious, and books can help develop that curiosity, imagination, and love of learning. Through stories, my goal is to help children recognize kindess, compassion, and God’s love for each of us.
