After growing up in North Alabama, I went to Lee University in Cleveland, TN. I met my husband, Jonathan, in college and after we graduated and got married, we lived in Kansas City for a couple of years. Now we are back in TN! I love anything ministry, administrative and communications centered, and I believe they all go hand in hand. With that in mind, I majored in Public Relations and minored in Discipleship Ministries. I have continued my passion for service with my husband by us both using our gifts for the Lord at churches, with me being involved with administration and communications, and him leading worship.

I love traveling with my husband and two dogs, exploring and trying new coffee shops, organizing and planning ANYTHING, celebrating and hanging out with my community and family, and enjoying the outdoors.
