Sabrina lives in Patterson, Arkansas with her husband and two children. She describes teaching as “my absolute calling. I enjoy seeing kids have those light bulb moments and I enjoy teaching about Jesus.”

Montessori Christian Academy School Board Chair Stan Fretwell said: “We are delighted to welcome Sabrina to MCA. As a member of our team, we are confident that her passion for education and her commitment to nurturing the minds and hearts of our students will have a lasting impact on the lives entrusted to us – just as she has for the children mine and many others from the past. At MCA, we believe in the profound importance of integrating faith with education. Our mission is to provide not only academic excellence but also spiritual growth for our students, equipping them to become future Christ-like leaders in our communities. Every day, we strive to foster a learning environment rooted in Christian values, where the love of Christ is reflected in everything we do.”
