I grew up right down the road in Andover, MN. I attended school at Augustana University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Business Administration. I spent four years with my husband and three cats in Fort Worth, Texas, while my husband was in the Marine Corps (Semper Fi!). After my husband completed his contract, we moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family. I became the Director of NextGen Ministries at Servant of Christ on September 19, 2021, and what a blessing it has been.
