EXPERIENCE

I have been on multiple mission trips to many countries including Mexico, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Kyrgyzstan and I have also worked with Refugees in Sacramento. I have worked on AGCC Impact Leadership Team for about 2 years now. My husband and I are also exploring the idea of maybe working overseas one day. I have also worked in other environments like for a start-up company, managing other employees, as well as an event planner. I feel that my experiences of dealing with people in many different kinds of environments/cultures has helped me to have a heart for learning to understand people who are different than me and has challenged me to find ways to show them the love of Jesus.

FAMILY

My dear husband, Matthew, and our sweet girls, Bella and Magnolia.

FAVORITE OR LIFE VERSE

Psalm 34, all of it but I especially always come back to these verses:

WHAT GETS YOU EXCITED ABOUT MINISTRY OR WHAT IS YOUR PASSION IN MINISTRY?

I love thinking about how big God is and the amazing things He is doing and how we can be a part of that, both in our local church and community and around the world! I love encouraging and coming alongside missionaries and partners who we support. I love sharing with people who don’t know about the hope and joy that there is in knowing and having a relationship with Jesus Christ.
