What's your go-to coffee order?
I don't like coffee - my drink of choice is an ice cold Diet Sundrop.

What do you love most about your role? 
Getting a front-row seat to the spiritual growth of our youngest disciples. There’s nothing like seeing a child light up when they understand a truth about God for the first time, or watching them worship with genuine joy and simple faith. I get to partner with families, invest in leaders, and create spaces where children feel seen, loved, and invited into the story of Jesus. It's more than a job—it's a calling, a privilege, and one of the greatest joys of my life.

What's a fun fact most people don't know about you?
I've climbed an active volcano in Guatemala.

What's a Bible verse or passage that's especially meaningful to you?
Romans 8.

What's your hope for The Glade Church? 
That we would always be a people rooted in God’s Word and marked by His love. I hope we remain a church that welcomes others with open arms, raises up the next generation to know and follow Jesus, and lives with a deep sense of purpose and generosity. My prayer is that The Glade would be known not just for what happens inside our walls, but for the light we shine in our community and beyond—that we would be a church on mission, transformed by the Gospel and sent out to make disciples.
