Liv Barber, KinderEnrichment Teacher
Hello! My name is Olivia, or Liv, Barber. This is my very first year teaching KinderEnrichment here at Beacon Hill. I have always dreamed of working with children. Here at Beacon, not only do I get to work with kids, I get to spread the gospel and teach them about the Lord. I am beyond blessed to be a part of this community of teachers! I moved to Ventura when I was 18 with high hopes to join the United States Coast Guard. However, God quickly changed my heart and led me slowly but surely, here to Beacon Hill. I am a part of the Arise church family in Ventura. I love spending time with my family and friends, going to the beach, camping and being in God's creation. One goal I have this year is to plant a seed of creativity and a love for the Lord in the Kindergarteners' hearts.
