What is your role at HOPE, in your own words?
I oversee the operations of the Family Ministry teams and Worship Arts + Production teams, as well as the Leads for church-wide volunteers at HOPE (a.k.a. Chief Chaos Officer).
What’s your favorite verse/passage of scripture and why?
Romans 12:9-13. We are called to love but what does love in action look like. These verses were read at our wedding and my husband and I constantly go back to this as a guardrail for our family mission statement.

I came to HOPE in 2010 and started working here in 2013.

Abundant laughter, especially from my children.

Chips and Guac!
If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?
Gardening with flowers and floral arrangement. I love bringing outside beauty inside.
What’s something people might not know about you?
Prior to working at HOPE, I worked as a pregnancy counselor for four years and LOVED it!
