I’m a cradle Presbyterian, social worker, and mom of three teens. Growing up in a Navy family sparked my love for travel and new experiences. After college, I served as a Young Adult Volunteer in Northern Ireland, which led me to earn a Master’s in Social Work from Loyola Chicago. Since then, I’ve worked in youth counseling, leadership development, and community programs.

Before coming to MPC, I served as Director of Youth Ministries at First Pres in Athens, where I helped build a vibrant, connected youth program. I’ve also been involved nationally—writing curriculum, coaching youth leaders, and serving on the PYWA board.

At home, I’m supported by my husband, Erik, who works at UGA, and our three kids—Ben, Kate, and Tenny—as well as our two energetic pups, Desta and Gobez.
