1.In the seventh grade I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour and everyday my relationship with Him is growing!
2. I teach at the college I graduated from, Nevada State College, as a Part-time Instructor. The class is STEP UP Learning Communities and is a course that bridges the gap between high school and college. In simple terms, its an intro to college life course, but is designed around the STEP UP scholarship program. STEP UP stands for Student to Teacher Enlistment Project Undergraduate Program. Students enroll in the STEP UP program their junior year of high school and begin working on their undergraduate (AA Degree) studies. STEP UP is equivalent to a $20,000 dollar scholarship and all classes and books are paid for. Of course, STEP UP students have to maintain a certain GPA and pass a course with a C or better. This program is such an amazing thing and is such a blessing for me as well as for the other students. I am so blessed to be teaching/mentoring/equipping these students to be successful students and future students at NSC.
3. I substitute teach part-time at Lake Mead Christian Academy for Brittney Erickson's kindergarten class!
4. It will be three years May 30 that I've been married to my amazing husband! We started dating my freshman year of high school in 2003 and dated all four years of my high school experience (he is two years older than me). Raymond works for Zappos.com as a front-end architect for web and mobile development. Put simply, he's a genius and I love everything about him! I'm so blessed to be married to such an amazing man of God!
5. In the summer, I will be going on a mission trip to Kabwe, Zambia with my local church. We will be hosting a teacher's conference where we will train and equip local Zambian men and women who want to be teachers on how to become a teacher. We will also conduct a VBS (Vacation Bible School) at a pastor's conference as well as work with children and youth to teach them to read. I will post on this again soon, but I am so looking forward to what God will do in that nation.
6. Each week I help out at our church's youth group, Refuge, where I co-lead a small group of junior high girls. I love them so much and am so blessed to be able to mentor each one of them.
7. I am an Aunt to two beautiful children:
