I’m a disciple of Christ, wife to my highschool sweetheart, mama to Oliver, Fletcher, Jasper and Aurora - as well as a baby in heaven. My husband and I are Wamego natives and Emporia State graduates. My husband serves in the Air Force all the while helping me raise my kids. I fill my time with family, education, spending time with friends and portrait photography. Over the last 10+ years I have worked with a wide variety of elementary-aged students and as my oldest got closer to "school age" we explored the idea of homeschooling. The Lord orchestrated a beautiful story that brought us to RISE and I am thrilled to come alongside families as an educator turned administrator and fellow hybrid-homeschool parent. My desire is to honor Christ by partnering with families in their own hybrid-homeschooling journey. RISE is encouraging our family as we homeschool and I have personally seen how it has grown to serve many in this area. We look forward to ministering to some of the awesome people He created, serving others well, sharing the redeeming grace of Jesus and equipping families to educate their children in a hybrid model.
