Q: How did you learn about Trinity School?
A: I first learned about Trinity School from Ms. Coleman, who had moved from Michigan to teach at this specific school. After hearing more of her story, that decision caught my attention – what about this school drew you here, far from home? The more I learned, the more I sensed that something beautiful was unfolding in this place!

Q: What are you most looking forward to about teaching at Trinity this year?
A: I am eager to encounter goodness, truth, and beauty in this community of learners! Particularly, I look forward to seeing the community in action: from traditions and events, the arts and playing fields, the stage and each classroom -. I can’t wait to be with you all and to be formed as a disciple through our common pursuit of “life to the full” (John 10:10). I give thanks to God for the opportunity to grow through challenges and new experiences as I delve into chemistry and biology with 9th and 10th grade students.
