I grew up in rural Maryland about an hour and a half from Baltimore. I graduated from Midland University with a degree in Youth and Family Ministry. I have about 15 years of doing children, youth and family ministry and about 7 years of social work. I also love outdoor ministry. My husband and I have been married since 2021. We live in St. Paul with our cat and two rescue dogs. We also foster through Ruff Start Rescue from time to time. I love to hike, knit, cook, bake, garden, listen to music/sing and hang out with friends.
