Philosophical Profile

I have been immersed in the TCS community for my entire life.  I knew that TCS would always play an integral role in my life. However, I never dreamed that I would become an employee of Timothy.  I believe that God specifically answered my prayers, knew my heart’s desire, and called me out of the corporate world to serve Him in this way. 

It is with great excitement and anticipation that I begin my work as the Director of Advancement.   I serve out of gratitude for what God has done in my life and because of what TCS has meant to me and my family.  I serve out of a deep love and passion for this school.  Lastly and most importantly I serve out of a deep conviction that together with parents and Church we must train & educate our children in the love and knowledge of our Lord and Savior.   Christian education and the freedom to have a Christian School, is a wonderful gift & blessing from God.   

My goal is to be a servant leader for this school and for this entire community.   Our Advancement goal is to make you aware of the school’s current and future needs and to provide you with ways to participate in the blessing of giving to TCS.   Our goal is also to encourage biblically based stewardship.  Reaching our goals for TCS will truly require the cooperation and involvement of our entire constituency.  I look forward to working with all of you in this common cause.
