Julianne is excited to begin her first year as a first-grade teacher at Verde Christian Academy. She holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Health Care Administration, though she has long felt that God placed teaching on her heart. She gained early experience working with children through her college work-study at the Boys & Girls Club and continued growing her passion for education while serving as a stay-at-home mom, volunteering in classrooms across multiple grade levels at VCA. Julianne has also served as a preschool teacher and most recently as a history teacher for local homeschool students. She is blessed that her own two children attend Verde Christian Academy, making the school especially meaningful to her family. Julianne is grateful for the opportunity to serve in Christian education and is committed to fostering a Christ-centered classroom where students are encouraged academically, nurtured spiritually, and reminded that they are uniquely created by God.
