“I love teaching at Bookcliff because you see people’s joy and passion serving the LORD. God has created a loving family of believers here that are equipped to teach their students and share Jesus’ love with them. It spreads to the students and you see the commitment they make to God shine in their lives to their friends and family at home. It is awesome to me when you hear a testimony of a parent coming to know Christ because their child has introduced them to Jesus! I have taught Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and been in administration-which has given me a different view from year to year what God is doing at BCS and how He uses each of us to bring it to fruition. Through good and bad times, God has always been in control and made His plans succeed. He even brought my sister-in-law, Cynthia Biocic, to BCS as my classroom aid and our art teacher!
Even longer ago, I earned my teaching degree at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, TX (now known as Nelson University). After being in Texas and traveling to other countries to earn my cross-cultural ministries degree and elementary education degree, I treasure those experiences and draw from them to share God’s worldview of his creation to share the gospel with my students. It helps them see there are more people to share Jesus’ love with, and special ways to “show” them Jesus. All that God has brought me through has shaped the teacher and person I am today-I am grateful!
One year before I came to BCS I married my amazing husband, Eugene, who is also an elementary teacher in District 51. Eugene and I both grew up around the Grand Mesa area and love to revisit it and enjoy its beauty. Our sons, Isaiah (2007) and Graham (2011) have attended BCS and still hold it dear as their best school experience. We love to spend time together outdoors, having movie nights, eating good food, and just being with family. We also attend Bookcliff Baptist Church and consider them a wonderful part of our family!
I am thankful God brought me through the doors of BCS to experience His work and love all these years!”
