Please tell us about yourself.
I grew up in northern New Jersey and do not see myself ever leaving. I have a strong connection with friends and family. I am currently engaged to an EC alum and will be getting married fall of 2021. I enjoy walking and spending time with friends. This includes walking outside but also in the aisles of Marshalls or Homegoods. I am passionate about caring and encouraging others.

How did God bring you to work at EC?
I am what they call a “lifer” at Eastern Christian since I attended Eastern Christian from elementary school all the way through high school. I graduated from EC in 2016 and then went off to college. I graduated from William Paterson University in 2021 with a bachelor’s in Elementary Education and Earth Science. When applying for teaching jobs for the fall, God made it very clear through prayer that He wasn’t done using me yet at Eastern Christian.

Why Eastern Christian School?
Eastern Christian is set apart in the way that there is a community of faculty and staff that deeply care for those who walk into their doors. Each student that walks the hallways at EC aren’t just recognized as students, but as children of God designed uniquely to serve our creator. EC faculty and staff strives to enable our students to use their God given gifts to transform and better the world.
