I am so excited and thankful to the Lord to be able to serve at RISE Academy! First and foremost, I love Jesus and am in awe of the good, good gifts he has given me. I am married to my highschool sweetheart, Ryan. We are from Southeast Colorado and are both K-State alumni, which is where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I taught both kindergarten and first grade in public schools. Together, we have moved many times, but God provided us the opportunity to move back to Manhattan in 2023, where we hope to stay. We both have a passion for the local community and feel called to raise our family here. We have a sweet 2.5 year old boy and another on the way! I have had the privilege of being a stay at home mom since the birth of our first, but have felt God’s calling to serve children and their families again. I’ve always known I wanted to be a teacher, but didn’t know I would feel so passionate about homeschooling our own children. Teaching at RISE allows me to combine my passions of motherhood and teaching into one. I look forward to joining the RISE community and watching God work in mighty ways!
