Northwood Preschool Coordinator

Hometown: Irvine, CA / (Grew up in Anaheim, CA) Family Info: My husband Jim and daughters Kaitlyn (8) and Ashleigh (7) How did you become a part of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church? We were looking for a small church with a delightful children’s program. What is your role? To coordinate the preschool and kindergarten children for the Northwood site. What is your favorite part about your role? Working with all you wonderful children! It’s an honor and joy to be surrounded by happy little hearts.

Fun Stuff

If you were an animal what would you be? A dog, man’s best friend. What's the greatest invention in the last 50 years? The cell phone. It helps us busy parents keep in touch with our loved ones. What is your favorite place on earth? Mammoth mountain; where the air is clean and outdoors is spectacular. What makes you laugh? My family. My husband is extremely funny and, well, you know “the things kids say”. If you could have any super-power what would it be? “Elasti-girl” so I could stretch myself to be there for friends and family.
