I’m from Elgin, IL, where my husband and I are now raising our family. I’m a lifelong Lutheran, and I’m uniquely blessed to serve in the congregation that has been my family’s church home for 4 generations. God is so good!
My husband, Brad, is a social studies teacher and golf coach. We have three sons (11, 6, 5) who love to be outdoors, play baseball, and generally keep us on our toes. We are also a homeschooling family!
I serve as Assimilation Director at Good Shepherd Church & School. In my free time, I enjoy writing in the sunshine, baking extravagant treats, expanding my garden, arranging freshly-cut flowers, and making ordinary things beautiful. I also adore spending sweet time with family, friends, and neighbors.
As a follower of Jesus, I’m always looking for new ways to live missionally and make disciples in the context of my vocations. I’m especially passionate about reflecting Christ’s love through simple acts of hospitality, and encouraging others to do the same.
