Faculty & Staff

I was born and raised in DFW and am thrilled to be back in the area after spending three years away at college. I attended Ouachita Baptist University, where I earned my BA in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in Performance and a minor in Communications. I have been involved with theatre since I was five years old, and have performed at the collegiate and professional level for many years. During college, I found a love for not only performing, but for directing, playwriting, choreographing, and the technical side of theatre. Since graduation, I have worked as a dance teacher and choreographer around the DFW area. In my free time I enjoy swing dancing, going to see live theatre, and spending time with family and friends. For years, I was torn between pursuing theatre, ministry, or education. The Lord graciously led me to Providence, where I have the opportunity to do all three! I believe theatre can and should be a place for ministry, and I am excited to provide students with an environment that encourages creativity and worship. I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the staff, and to be coworkers with my greatest inspiration, my mom....

I am a Dallas native with family ties to Rockwall. My family and I are now pleased to call Rockwall home and are so excited to be part of Providence Academy. I was among the first generation of classically educated students when the classical movement first saw its resurgence. I have since taught at the grammar level in multiple Dallas-area classical schools, homeschooled my own children, and been instrumental in founding a Charlotte Mason-based homeschool co-op. I have a B.A. in Music from Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA and finished my degree vowing that I would never teach. In the mysterious way the Lord works, He gently led me to what has become my passion and calling. I have spent the last several years earning a Master’s degree in Classical Education at the University of Dallas. While there, I worked with Angel Parham and the Nyansa Classical Community to integrate the black intellectual tradition into the classical canon. As part of that project, I helped formalize and develop multi-ethnic virtue-based classical curriculum. My family and I have also recently started the LLF Library, which offers the very best living children’s literature to the Dallas-area community. I have three children,...

grew up in Mesquite, Texas, and graduated from Balch Springs Christian Academy. In 2012, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Education from Texas A&M University–Commerce. This school year will mark my 14th year in education. Over the years, I have learned so much through this profession and am incredibly thankful for the many life lessons that teaching brings. I truly enjoy working with students of all ages, and my goal is to make every child feel seen, valued, and loved. My husband, Mike, and I have been married for 13 wonderful years, and we have three great kids who attend Providence. Anthony is in 6th grade, Ava is in 5th grade, and Alyssa is in Kindergarten. This will be our fourth year at Providence. Although our children began their educational journey at PA, we have been away for the past three years, and we are so excited to be back. Providence truly feels like home to our family. Being an influential voice in my children’s lives is very important to me and I am grateful that PA supports and encourages parents in that role. One of my favorite Bible verses is John 15:5: “I am the vine; you are the...

I was born and raised in the DFW are and have called the Rockwall area home for nearly seven years. In May of 2025, I graduated from Lubbock Christian University with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and I’ll begin pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling online through LCU this fall as I work toward becoming a licensed counselor. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for almost two years and we are so glad to be back home after being in Lubbock for college. I’m so excited to be apart of the Providence family! It’s an honor to step into a place where faith and learning are deeply connected, and where students are truly known and encouraged. I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to invest in the hearts and lives of students and families, and I’m looking forward to seeing how God uses this year to grow, and bless us all!...

I am a Texas native who feels blessed to have been born and raised in God’s country. I was raised in a very loving Christian home with my sister where both of my parents were active in their local church. I was public school educated where I loved playing volleyball, basketball and softball. For most of my childhood, my desire was to be a teacher and coach a sport. That all changed one summer when I had my first job working with kids. It didn’t take but a few days of that for my life plan to drastically change. I announced I was no longer going to teach and for that matter, I wouldn’t be having children. The Lord has a sense of humor and a gracious way of humbling us. For college, I attended UTA on a softball scholarship and majored in mechanical engineering. I have always loved Texas A&M, and when discovering graduate students could also earn an Aggie ring, I started on my masters in mechanical engineering in 2000, finishing in 2001. It was a time of stretching and growing my faith that I hadn’t experienced before. I came back home and worked at Raytheon as a...

I have either been teaching someone (or something!) or had my nose in a book for as long as I can remember. That path led me to graduate from Stephen F. Austin State University with a degree in English and history education with a teacher certification in 4th-12th grade English and social studies. After college, I taught in public schools for seven years. The Lord then blessed my husband and I with two sweet girls, and I decided to homeschool and teach humanities at a co-op in Houston… I desire for all my students to seek truth, goodness, and beauty in all that they do. And most of all read, read, and read some more! The power of great books to develop faith, character, and intellect is unequivocal. I am truly passionate about students growing in their ability to think critically and communicate effectively. (“A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” Proverbs 25:11) My hope is for all students to find their inner communicator and logically, beautifully, and meaningfully convey their ideas. I currently enjoy this season of being a mom. It is a blessing to grow in my walk with the Lord while...

I grew up in Mississippi and attended The University of Southern Mississippi and received a B.S. in Special Education with certifications in Biology, English, and Social Studies. After teaching for several years, I attended The University of Texas at Arlington and received my M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction with certifications as a Reading Specialist, Master Reading Teacher, and English as a Second Language. I taught for eight years in Mesquite ISD as a special education teacher. For Providence, I have taught both Art History and Kindergarten. My husband, Conrad, and I have been married for 15 years and have 3 children – Lilli, Gracie, and Maxwell. We love the flexibility of the university school model and the responsibility it teaches our children. We also appreciate the depth and the rich history of the classical model and are thankful that our school provides both. We have attended Rockwall Presbyterian Church for the last 10 years....

I grew up in DFW and attended a private Christian school through sixth grade before moving to public school in Rowlett. I was blessed to have family who loved the Lord and modeled commitment to Christ and His church, but my faith did not truly become my own until college when I faced total dependence on Him through many seasons of change. I attended Ouachita Baptist University where I earned a B.A. in Psychology and Spanish. During college, I met my husband, Brad, who is from small town Arkansas. After graduating, I moved back to the Dallas area and convinced him to come with me to the big city. I have always wanted to find a way to help struggling learners develop a love for reading, though I never saw myself teaching. The Lord has been so kind to soften my heart and change my plans. I obtained my teaching certification and taught in Special Education Resource classrooms before earning my M.Ed. in Special Education with a dyslexia emphasis from the University of Arkansas. I later completed training through Scottish Rite Hospital to become a Certified Academic Language Therapist and spent seven years teaching students with dyslexia. I love helping...
