Murrieta Springs Adventist Christian Academy
About the Principal
I am honored to serve as the principal of MSACA, combining my passion for mission work and education to lead our students and families toward success. My journey began in high school with mission trips to Honduras, where we built a church, and Fiji, where we led VBS programs and supported medical missions. After earning my master’s degree, I spent 2½ transformative years in South Korea teaching English and Bible, forming lasting connections with my students.
​
I hold a BA in Liberal Studies (History) and a Master’s in Teaching. My career in Seventh-day Adventist education has been deeply fulfilling. I served as teaching principal at Victor Valley SDA School for five years, taught K-4 as principal at El Cajon SDA Christian School for two years, and spent the past five years teaching middle school at MSACA. Each experience has strengthened my commitment to fostering a Christ-centered learning environment where students can grow spiritually, academically, and personally.
​
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy crafting, traveling, cooking, singing, and spending time with my dogs. As we step into this new chapter together, I ask for your prayers for the wisdom, strength, and guidance to fulfill the eternal responsibilities entrusted to us. Let’s work together to empower our students and honor God’s calling. I look forward to seeing all of you soon!
