How long have you been working at Life Community & what do you do here?
I’ve been working at LCC as the Family Life Pastor since May 2019. I love working with kids & teens! I find joy in partnering with Parents as they adventure with their kids toward adulthood.
What relevant education or work experience prepared you for your position?
I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Religion with an emphasis in Youth Ministry from Northwest Nazarene University in 2006. I’ve been in full time ministry since June 2006 and have had some very significant mentors in my life who have continued to pour into me throughout the years. The knowledge and wisdom I’ve gained from them has been amazing for my ministry journey!

I love everything outdoors and if it’s raining outside, it makes it even better! I love to hike, kayak, SUP, beachcomb for seaglass, camp, have fires on the beach, and I end most days relaxing in my hammock.
