I have been active in church since I was 11 years old, spending my first 14 years of church life at a large Four Square Church in Washington State before finally stumbling across a Lutheran Church. It was at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Marysville, WA, that I finally felt as though I truly “belonged” at church. I moved to Minnesota in 2010. I have two children of my own, and in 2019, I remarried and gained two more children. We live in WBL and we are active in the schools and community. I love “vitamin c”; coffee, cats, and crafts.

I have been active in children/youth programming and in non-profits for 20 years. I cannot imagine spending my career doing anything else. My favorite youth program is our annual mission trips and my favorite children's program is Vacation Bible School. I am looking forward to working in new ways throughout the community with the greater Church, particularly in the area of racial equity. I consider myself a bleeding heart follower of Jesus, and want it to show in all aspects of my life.

If you need me you can always send an email or call the church office, or you can find me wandering the halls of church looking for new ways to brighten up the children and youth spaces.
