I was raised in Tallmadge, Ohio and first learned about Christ through a close friend and her family inviting me to church. In high school, I learned more about God through Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). I accepted Christ as my Savior my Junior year of high school in the midst of a painful, long-lasting sports injury. My faith really became my own in college through my involvement with CRU at Kent State. In 2008, I married my middle school sweetheart, Mo. We live in Tallmadge with our two children, Dylan and Grace. My working life began as a 2nd grade teacher, and then I was blessed to be able to stay home for 13 years with our children.  Redemption Chapel has been our church home since 2020. I’m grateful to be part of the staff team where I can use my passions and abilities for God’s Kingdom. In my free time, I enjoy learning about the National Parks, traveling, watching sports, connecting with our neighbors, and going on coffee dates with my husband.
