Assistant Director of Admissions and MarketingB.A., Southern New Hampshire University
Paralegal Certification, Boston University
I live in Amesbury with my husband, Matt. We have three kids that all attend BCA. We have two Cockapoos, Han Solo and Chewbacca. My background is family law (paralegal) but I really love Christian education and I believe very much in the mission of BCA. I began subbing at both the lower and upper schools two years ago and have really enjoyed my time here. I’m excited to make a slight pivot from assisting teachers to assisting the admissions team this year. I often say to new parents (as I, too, am a parent here), BCA truly is everything we think/want it to be, and I can say that as someone who is “on the inside”. The staff and administration CARE about our kids. They KNOW our kids. They WANT to see our kids succeed. BCA is truly a loving and safe environment where our kids can be who God created them.

School CounselorMacKenzie Croteau
School CounselorB.A., Liberty University
M.A., Liberty University
After living in Virginia for 6 years, my husband and I decided to move back up north to be near family and experience the beauty of snow again! I enjoy playing music, hiking, reading, paddleboarding, any competitive sport, and board games/cards with family and friends. Since moving back to New England, we have spent most of our free time exploring new and old parts of the area, and of course, being Auntie to our nieces and nephews is a highlight of life!
I am happy to join the BCA community! Attending a Christian Academy for most of my education caused a love for their structure and purpose to grow in my heart. After coaching sports, teaching, and working with students for a number of years at another Academy, I knew I wanted to be back working in this environment. Hearing that BCA cares so much about the mental, social, and emotional health of its students that a school counselor is a priority is a great encouragement to me.
