      27 Years of Experience as a Children's Ministry Director

      With 27 years of experience as a Children’s Ministry Director, I have had the joy of working with and encouraging children of all ages. I’m passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel confident in their abilities. I’m a wife of 31 years, a mom of four, and a proud grandmother of two. I’ve lived in several states, as well as England and Germany, giving me a love for people, learning, and new experiences. In my free time, I enjoy reading, baking, and spending time with my sweet dog, Millie.

        B.A. in Journalism, U of Wisconsin (Madison)

        I love working out and spend considerable time strength training or in the Pilates studio. I also love traveling, hiking, music festivals, and playing board games, especially Scrabble, Rumimikub, Backgammon, and Maj Jong, which I’m just learning. Working jigsaw puzzles and reading are also among my favorites ways to pass the time. Many a morning you will find me at the Shelby Farms dog park with my fur babies Pearl and Ollie. I’m also a mom to two cats.
