Pilgrim Leadership Team

I believe every scholar is capable of learning and deserves access to rigorous, meaningful academic experiences. At the heart of education are relationships built on trust, respect, and understanding. When we take the time to truly know our scholars—their experiences, perspectives, strengths, and needs—we create an environment where they can be known, loved, challenged, and empowered to reach their God-given potential.

I am blessed to serve as part of the Pilgrim Lutheran School community, where our work is rooted in Christ and His example of love. One of the greatest joys of my role is watching scholars grow from where they begin to what they are capable of becoming. Seeing that "light bulb" moment when a challenging concept finally clicks never gets old. For me, education is more than a profession; it is a ministry and an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of children.

My hope is that our scholars leave Pilgrim prepared not only for academic success but also to make a meaningful impact in their communities and the world. I want them to become confident, principled individuals who understand their purpose and recognize the difference they can make in the lives of others.

Outside of school, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my husband and our three children. One of my proudest accomplishments is earning my master's degree while pregnant, an experience that strengthened my belief in perseverance, determination, and continuing to grow even when the journey is challenging.

One of my favorite Bible verses is Romans 8:28:"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."

I am blessed to serve as the Assistant Principal at Pilgrim Lutheran School and have been part of the LUMIN family since 2022. With more than 24 years in education, teaching and learning remain two of my greatest passions. What I love most about LUMIN is that my passion for education and my faith can come together every day as I serve scholars, families, and staff.

Throughout my career, I have developed a deep belief in the value and God-given potential of every person. I strive to lead with patience, respect, and compassion, especially when working with scholars who may need someone to believe in them a little more. I don't give up easily. Building relationships with scholars and families and helping each child feel known, loved, and challenged is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

Before joining LUMIN, I served at HOPE Christian Schools. I studied African and African Diaspora Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and have earned a doctoral degree. As a lifelong learner, I am continuing my professional growth by working toward dual licensure in administration and school business administration.

I especially appreciate the sense of community at Pilgrim. Our team encourages and inspires one another, and we share a commitment to helping our scholars grow academically, spiritually, and personally.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our five children, volunteering with Our Next Generation, and cheering on the Milwaukee Bucks. Learning is truly one of my hobbies—but on Saturday mornings, you can usually find me enjoying the opportunity to sleep in!

One of my favorite Bible passages is Psalm 13:5–6: "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me."
