MEET OUR PRINCIPAL

I was born in Memphis Tenn. Doing my first years in elementary school my family
relocated to Indiana where I graduated high school. Shortly after completing high
school, I enlisted in the US Navy where I proudly served for over a decade as a chef
and instructor. I successfully trained close to 4000 culinary students in the basics of
food preparation and effectively motivated students toward self-improvement.

My husband and I met in Japan doing our service in the military. We have been
married for 34 years and have 4 children and 8 grandchildren. Chula Vista California
has been our home for over 20 years.

I attended Point Loma Nazarene University where I obtained a degree in Social Work
and Child Development. I have over 30 years of experience in education, most of which
has been spent as Director of Children’s Outreach for nonprofit organizations where I
implemented and maintained a fun and safe educational environment for children,
parents, and staff.

I have also had the privilege of being the owner of Williams Family Child Care for nearly
10 years.  I was able to partner with various organizations such as Neighborhood House Association, CDA, YMCS, Chicano Federation, Children’s Home Society and more.

My love for children and education inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. Over
the past years I witnessed the decline in education and felt the leading of God to open a biblically based Principle Approach Christian School – Courage Christian Academy located in San Diego, CA.
