“Having served in Christian education and missionary work for many years, I have been blessed to teach and learn alongside children and families from different cultures and communities. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to nurturing young minds in a Christ-centered environment. I believe every child is uniquely created by God and has the potential to succeed when encouraged and supported. It is my joy to partner with families, our church, and our school community to inspire a love for learning and a lifelong relationship with Jesus.”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this school community and to support students in their learning journey. I was born in Costa Rica and have roots in both Costa Rica and Panama, which has shaped my appreciation for different cultures and communities. I enjoy creating a classroom environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and motivated to grow. I am passionate about helping students develop confidence, the skills they need to succeed, a love for learning and, above all, a love for God.”
