I have been an instructor at community colleges since 2005. I started out teaching adult basic skills (GED) and English as a Second Language classes, and I'm currently teaching in the Basic Skills for Adults program at Clark helping students improve their academic English, finish their high school credits, and transition into college. I love teaching math and social studies subjects. I have three adult daughters who are all married, and 5 grandsons, 2 granddaughters, and one more on the way. I lived in Longview for 25 years but in 2019 I moved to Vancouver. I am the faculty advisor for the Cru Club at Clark and help lead Bible Studies with students interested in learning more about the Christian faith. I love reading, walking, and traveling, and I would love to try rock climbing someday! At the center of my identity is my relationship with Jesus Christ. I believe that there is one true God who created the universe and is sovereign over it. He has revealed himself in the Bible and He desires to have a relationship with each one of us. That relationship is only possible because of the redemptive work of Jesus' death and resurrection. I can't imagine trying to live life without the love, security, and comfort I have in knowing God and trusting in Him. Please let me know if you have any questions about my faith, or would like me to pray for you!
