Principal

It is with great joy and gratitude that I share how delighted I am to serve at Gateway Christian School. Being part of this vibrant K–12 community is a true privilege—one that offers unique opportunities to build meaningful connections across all ages, foster a deep love of learning, and grow together in our understanding of God’s world. Previously, I have taught, and worked as a vice-principal at Gateway. I have four children who also attended and graduated from Gateway. Our grandchildren are still small and pre-school age, but I look forward to the day when they too, will be connected to this amazing community


At Gateway, we are blessed to walk alongside students from their very first steps in kindergarten to their graduation day. This journey allows us to nurture strong relationships, encourage spiritual development, and support academic excellence through every stage of learning. It is truly inspiring to witness how students grow—not only in knowledge and skills, but also in faith, character, and their desire to serve others.

Our mission to follow Christ, love deeply, and serve faithfully is lived out in everyday moments: in the classroom, on the playground, in chapel, and through acts of service in our community. I am thankful for the partnership we share with you, our families, and for the opportunity to lead in a place where Christ is at the center of all we do.
