To some who look at this picture, I may just be another vacuum-wielding mom, but to my children, I'm the slayer of spiderwebs, tumbleweed terminator, and conqueror of shower biofilm. I jest because I do sooo much more than clean, and even if I didn't, this life might just be enough. I'm a homeschooling mom to two creative and brilliant children, Alden (16) and Jewel (10), and wife to my beloved, Jared.
I can be found surrounded by books of various kinds, studying the Bible, singing/dancing, cooking, watching Hallmark movies with my daughter, grabbing coffee with friends (or pets), and enjoying all aspects of church life and ministry work.
I love Jesus, I love learning, and I love combining the two as a seminary student at Fuller Theological Seminary in pursuit of my Master of Divinity with a focus on Leadership During Times of Change. I have two years complete and a lot more to learn! When I wonder if it's all worth it (once per quarter, haha), my daughter says, "Momma, you have to do this. You started it and you're going to finish it."
I currently work and serve as a Lead Pastor for a small, welcoming church in Rochester, NY. We just relocated from Huntington, WV in September 2024--so more about this coming soon!
In my spare time, I enjoy walks outdoors (or on the treadmill), yoga/pilates, cooking, playing dolls with Jewel, Legos, reading, traveling, refinishing furniture, and someday--gardening.

I will do my best to get back to you soon!
