What's your go-to coffee order?
I am a bit of a coffee snob, but depending on the coffee shop my order changes. You can never go wrong with a White Chocolate Lavendar Latte with Blonde espresso (the sweeter the better). I love me a good Undertow for a quick fix.

What do you love most about your role? 
I love being able to combine my random gifts and talents all into one ministry for the Kingdom! I never thought, growing up, that I would be able to be a professional photographer, graphic designer, videographer, social media marketer, editor, and writer all at once! plus to be able to do it for the Lord? Man...what a gig!

What's a fun fact most people don't know about you?
My husband and I went to Disney Orlando for our honeymoon!

What's a Bible verse or passage that's especially meaningful to you?
"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." - 1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)

What's your hope for The Glade Church? 

I hope The Glade is a place where people actually meet Jesus and are changed by Him. Where the gospel shapes how we live Monday through Saturday, not just what we do on Sundays.

I hope we're a community where people feel known and loved - where real relationships matter more than looking put together. Where people are growing in their love for Christ and learning to follow Him in the everyday mess of life.

I hope we raise up disciples who treasure Jesus so much they can't help but make Him known. People living on mission right where they are - in their homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces. Not just taking in content, but actually multiplying disciples who make disciples.

I hope we stay humble, prayerful, and dependent on God. That we never forget why we exist: to glorify Christ and lead people to treasure Him above everything else.
