WHAT LED YOU TO LAKELAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL?
When I was a kid, my sister and I (like many others) liked to “play school”. We would take turns playing the teacher and student, and I still have such vivid memories of it. In 2018, my sister (Sarah Williams) told me about this great job she got teaching at this great school in Lakeland. After I visited her, I knew there was something special about this school. At the time, I was about to begin my career in Special Education in Pinellas County, so it did not make sense for me to move over this way just yet. When she called me a year later informing me about an open position in the Discovery Program, I couldn’t let it just pass me by. I felt God pulling me in this direction immediately after my next visit to LCS. Now here I am, and I get to actually live out the dream Sarah and I had as kids about teaching together. And to top it all off, we get to do it with the best students, the best team, and at the BEST school!

Third Grade Teacher
WHAT LED YOU TO LAKELAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL?
My husband has been in Lakeland for the last four years, so when we got engaged, we felt like the Lord wanted me to leave Orlando and join him in Lakeland once we got married. We began praying for a school for me to work at, and LCS is what the Lord provided. We knew people from our church who worked here and students who had graduated and heard nothing but amazing things, so the decision was easy!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO IN YOUR LCS JOB?
My favorite thing about my LCS job is my relationships with the students and the “lightbulb” moments I get to see.
WHAT MAKES LAKELAND SPECIAL?
I think Lakeland is unique because of the established community and all of the small businesses. It is incredibly comforting to move to a new city and know that there are people who have been here for many years and never want to leave and that there are local small businesses that you can support.
