Hello! I was born and raised in Springfield, MO and then moved to Joplin, MO and graduated from Missouri Southern State University with a B.A. in Psychology, minoring in Sociology.I have been working in ministry in some capacity for the past 10 years.

I believe one of the greatest joys in my life is working with and being in the presence of children. Children have so much to teach us about God, and I am continually amazed by what they teach me about God and my own faith journey.

After gowing up in Missouri, I am proud to be a transplant Okie. I feel very blessed to work with such amazing people and to be part of a great ministerial team. I am a student at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa where I am working on my Masters of Divinity degree.

My family is an extremely important part of my life. In my free time I love to be outdoors riding my bike, fishing, and going to the lake with my family. I also love reading, watching movies, playing board games, and just taking it easy!
