Emilie Goodman

Emilie was raised in a God-loving family in Montreal, Canada. She had the privilege of attending a Christian school where she discovered at the young age of 7 that she wanted to be a teacher. Growing up, she loved being involved in her church's choir and theatrical productions. She also fondly remembers the times in her life when she would ask her father a million questions about God. Through the years, God continued to reveal Himself to her through life-changing mission trips to Europe and Guatemala. It was there she discovered first-hand that living her life for God was indeed the most exciting life she could ever hope for. Aside from traveling, her interests include music, spending time with family and friends, being outside running, and riding her bicycle around town. After teaching in the public sector for the past 3 years in her hometown, Emilie felt that God was preparing her for new opportunities. She decided to step out in faith, and she moved to beautiful San Diego in July 2008. Since then, she has been amazed at God's faithfulness on a daily basis and feels incredibly blessed to have joined a great team at the Rock Academy. Her favorite part of her profession is the freedom she has to share her passion and enthusiasm for learning and to inspire her students to pursue God's perfect plan for their lives.
