What’s your role  at Traverse City Christian School?

I am the Director of Finance & Operations. Essentially I manage the finances and the non-educational aspects of the school. I love what I do.

What do you love about TC Christian?
The people. The awesome staff, teachers, parents and students. It is a great community of people.

Why do you like working at TC Christian?  What motivated you to join the team at TC Christian?
I love being a part of what God is doing. Being able to use my education, training, and experience to be a part of equipping students to transform the world for Jesus Christ is my motivation and ministry. I spent most of my elementary through high school years in a Christian school so I know first-hand the benefits of a Biblical worldview being taught in all subjects day in and day out. It is great to be able to be part of making sure other students are able to experience this, too.

How do you incorporate a Christian Worldview in your work at TCCS?
We are called to be good stewards of what God gives us. I try to apply that to the areas I work at the school and provide good, sound management of the finances and operations.

What sets TC Christian students apart from students in other schools?
Students have an opportunity to find their purpose and mission in life and be equipped to live that out.

What do you want students to gain from having known you?
I want students to know they are loved and cared for. They are the reason I do what I do.
