How long have you been at UPC?
Off and on for 3 years
Where are you originally from?
I was born in Ohio, raised in Michigan, and have lived in New York, Connecticut, California, and Florida.
What are some of your hobbies and/or interests?
I love to read, swim, bike, travel, fly in small planes with my husband who is a pilot, and scuba dive.
What’s your favorite dessert?
Costco has this really fabulous chocolate cake that is over the top. I wouldn’t mind some of their buttercream cakes, either.
Favorite TV show?
House
What are you involved with at UPC?
I teach Sunday School at the 10:45 service with the 4’s.
I helped out with VBS this past summer.
My family is involved with a Life Group.
My husband Darren and I sometimes do announcements.
How have you seen God work in your life recently?
I am an educational consultant. One of the preschools I work with, my main source of income, cut their budget and didn’t have money for me this school year. I have really felt God leading me to go back to school to get my Masters, which I might not have done had I been working more.
How can we be praying for you?
I would appreciate prayers for the application process and testing to get into grad school.

Sarah,
My position at OCPS as a Math Teacher was also cut because of the budget. This past school year was my first year as a teacher and it was also my internship to complete my masters in math education. I prayed all summer for another teaching position and it has been really hard for me to accept the fact that I won’t be teaching this year. For three years my family had to make sacrifices, not having me at home while I went to school and worked on assignments, living on only one income, etc., and now I am not teaching.
Thankfully, I was able to go back to my old job at Lockheed Martin, but my hope is to go back to teaching… one day…
I will pray for you to pass the GRE. I did a lot of praying myself! I got an 1100. Also, I have two study guides if you didn’t buy them yet and I can help you with the math portion (I love Math!). You probably know Kim and Mark St. Angelo from UPC, you may ask them for my number if you’re interested.
