About My Family
I have been married to my best friend, Shawn, since 2007. We have two amazing kids who I have had the privilege to homeschool.
We have lived all over the southern and Midwest portions of the U.S. and have enjoyed experiencing living in different cities and towns. We love to play board games. My family tolerates helping me with my garden, as they love the good food that results from the work. One of our hobbies is to try cooking new and interesting foods.
My husband is a pastor, my son is aiming to be a classical concert pianist, and my daughter excels in drawing.

About My Ministry
Over the years, I have participated in a wide variety of ministries from Sunday School teacher to foster parent. Currently, I organize my church’s nursery ministry, I’m an informal chaplain for our local pregnancy center, I volunteer as a mentor with teen moms, and I’m an endorsed disaster relief chaplain for both Illinois and Iowa.
My goal is to share the hope of Christ whenever the Lord presents the opportunity and to try meet tangible needs so individuals know that Jesus cares for them.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
