On Staff Since:  January 2006 

Family Information:  Married to Mark, 3 girls (Blakely, Zoey, Logan) and 1 boy (Aaron)  Mark and I are actually Rogers natives!

Favorite Scripture:  It is so hard to pick just one!  For Children’s Ministry, it would have to be 1 Samuel 16: 7 “The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."  This is when Samuel was anointing David to be the next king.  He was still just a boy.  God looks at all of our children and says, “WOW, kid!  The things I have planned for you!  You won’t even believe it!”

Favorite Hymn or Worship Song:  Anything the CUMC praise band covers…

Favorite Movie:  To Kill a Mockingbird…but I’d rather read the book.

Favorite Food:  Pizza and hot wings from Jim’s Razorback Pizza

Hobbies:  Reading, walking, anything my kids are into

Dream Vacation:  I’d like to go back to Italy, but for now, anywhere I can get sand between my toes.

Birthplace:  Jonesboro, AR

Hometown:  Rogers, AR

What I love about my work:  I love seeing the AH-HA moments that kids have.  The connections they make between their faith and everyday life.  VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!
