Administrator
MA, Education, Kent State University
BA, Arts, Mount Union University
Mrs. Torgersen joined the AFCA faculty in 2020.
At Alliance Friends Christian Academy, Mrs. Torgersen runs the school, helps to shepherd the kids in their walk with the Lord, ensures that the school meets legal requirements, teaches in the learning center, and helps prepare the students for their future.
Her favorite part about being a faculty member at AFCA is “advancing students’ performance, God-given abilities, and well-being by empowering them with knowledge, compassion, problem-solving skills, and The Truth. I am driven by God’s command to, “Love God and Love People” from Mark 12:28-31 as I work to help prepare the next generation of Christian leaders.”
In her free time Mrs. Torgersen enjoys spending time with her family; her husband Marc and their three boys, Ethan, Luke, and Ben, reading, walking, swimming, painting, and fellowshipping with friends!

At Alliance Friends Christian Academy, Ms. Buckholdt helps organize events, score student work, and assist students with 1 on 1 help.
