Faith: I have been a Lutheran Christian my whole life. I am a certified and rostered Director of Christian Education. I love sharing about Jesus’ love both in person and in writing. One of my favorite things to do is create resources to help people grow in their relationship with God and to strengthen congregations.

Family: I am a farm wife and mom to two amazing young men. My husband and I are balancing the joys of watching our sons launching into adulthood while also working through losing parents and helping aging parents in their last years of life.

Work Experience: I have served as a director of Christian education, a daycare teacher, a daycare director, a full-time stay at home mom, a freelance writer, a paraeducator, and a teacher.

Education: I enjoy learning and have completed several university programs with a focus on human development, faith, and learning.
