April graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2001 with a secondary social studies teaching degree. God had other plans than her using her degree as she thought as she was called into ministry early in her college career. April has served as a ministry assistant at two different churches. In 2017, she transitioned to become the School Administrative Manager of Lifegate Christian School in Omaha, NE. She joined the Valley Team in 2020.

April and her husband, Dan, have been married for 20 years. During her spare time, she enjoys quilting, crafting, and reading as well as vacationing in the mountains and chasing waterfalls. Her family attends Prairie Lakes Church in Cedar Falls.

April is passionate about helping parents discover the eternal benefits of a Christian education for their children!
