Why Classical Christian Education?
Over the past few years, my understanding and appreciation for classical education have deepened significantly. I believe that Classical Christian Education invites students to embrace a life with Christ, encouraging them to learn how to think critically rather than simply accepting what to think. It promotes a life of service to both Christ and the community, equipping students to think well, speak well, and act with virtue, truth, and goodness.
At Oakdale Academy, the pillars of character, truth, and wisdom are reinforced not only in the classroom but also on the sports fields and within our families and homes.
On the personal front, I have been married to my husband, Mike, since 2011, and together we have three beautiful children: Olivia, Stephen, and Emmanuel. We are active members of St. Mark Orthodox Christian Church in Rochester Hills.
Professionally, I have dedicated nearly 20 years to the dental industry, working in both dental sales and transitions. Currently, I am a partner at DDSmatch, where I continue to serve the dental community.
