I am excited to join Knox staff and launch a brand new program, birthed from the prayers and dreams of God’s faithful people over the past few years. I grew up in the church, grateful to experience God’s love through the people around me and then developing a more personal faith in Jesus as I grew older. I experienced a call to ministry as a college student and have been living that out in a variety of ways ever since. I graduated from Wheaton College and also have a Masters of Divinity from North Park Theological Seminary. I have been ordained in the Evangelical Covenant Church since 2013.

My husband Greg and I have three boys, currently in elementary and middle school, and I love being their mom. In our house we have a lot of books, music, and board games – though we certainly love to enjoy some fun YouTube videos and video games together too. I love to be outside, whether it is hiking, walking with my family, or working in my garden.

I have many passions and interests, including (especially!) nurturing children as whole people – through creativity, spirituality, and fun. I’m excited to serve our community through the development of the After School Program at Knox.
