I was saved when I was about 5 years old. I worked at Word of Life Camps in high school where I met my husband, Lee. I attended Cedarville College and married when I graduated. I taught a year and then my husband went to Baptist Bible College. After he graduated we both taught at a Christian school in North Jersey. I started substituting at Bethel when my daughter was in 3rd grade. She is a BRS graduate, Class of 2006 and is currently a freshman at Malone College in Ohio.
