Social Worker Email I am a School Social Worker who graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with a BSW and will graduate from Dordt University in December with my MSW. I level in Orange City and am the youngest of four kids - two older brothers, one sister, and one sister-in-law. I have two nephews and one niece. In my free time, I like to go for runs, spend time outside, read a good book, and be with my family and friends.
My favorite Bible verse is Psalm 61:2, "From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
My favorite part of social work is building relationships with the students and getting to know their stories of what makes them who they are! Starting in August, I will split my time between RVCS and Western Christian. As a licensed school social worker, I will provide direct and indirect services to students and families experiencing social-emotional challenges that interfere with their ability to flourish in school and facilitate communication among school, home, and community providers.
Christian education is important to me as it allows me to share God's love and his word to the students, encouraging them to be all that God created them to be.
