Department: Administration

I have an unwavering passion for St. James Lutheran School. I grew up attending Lutheran schools in southern Indiana, and taught for 5 years in the Early Childhood program here at St. James. I am dedicated to building relationships with all families who enter our doors, and pride myself in knowing every student’s name and family.

My goal is to partner with each family from start to finish to help make the application and enrollment process as easy as possible. I am also responsible for promoting our school in the community. I believe that St. James is a special place that has been a hidden gem in the Lafayette community.

My goal is to better position our school in the public so others can truly know that St. James Lutheran School is here to serve all families and is a place where “Faith and Learning Connect.”

The ministry of St. James Lutheran Church and School has been my passion for many years. The church and school partnered with my family to nurture our children and family, and they will also positively impact our grandchildren. My goal is to share how special St. James is with future generations and to help families experience what my family experiences. Working in many areas of our school;  as an early childhood aide, preschool teacher, and early childhood director is a blessing. Transitioning to the financial aid director continues to allow my passion for our ministry, as I support families who seek a Christian education for their children. Partnering with you is a joy as you experience where faith and learning connect firsthand!
