Husband: Ryan (Married December 19, 1998)
Children: Ethan (Born January 23, 2005)
Position: Youth Minister, with an emphasis in girls' ministry
Year I came to Pleasant Valley: 2000
My real passion: God has designed me with a heart for teens. I enjoy teenagers very much. They are energetic, passionate and creative. They inspire me to continue searching and growing, to never be satisfied with “good enough”, and to always strive for the best life can be. Teens can definitely keep me on my toes!
My favorite moments in ministry are those when God uses me to show others his relevance not just for the future, but also in the here and now. I feel incredibly privileged when God invites me to be his ambassador of hope and healing to those I encounter.
My fondest memory at PV: I just can’t narrow it down to one moment. I would rephrase this statement to say that the PV Experience has been one of my fondest. The cards, notes, phone calls and dinner invitations, acts of generosity, great and small: these blessings may seem insignificant, but they have had a tremendous impact on me. Together they are a testament to the heart of our church family. They are the proof that PV is about people. I love that about this place.
Myself in a few words: Deeply compassionate. A thinker. I value integrity and creativity. I like knitting, spending time in the great outdoors, and art museums. I dislike cooking and housework. (Does anyone like housework?) I always love a good conversation, especially a challenging one.
