I have two adult children with a lovely daughter in law! I am married to a patient, loving and supportive husband. My ideal morning would be to have no agenda, 2 or more hot cups of coffee, and time to be active in some way!

I am honored to serve as the Director of Children’s Ministries here at FRC. In this role, I get to walk alongside children as they grow in their knowledge and love for the Lord. My passion lies in guiding children to understand Gods love and partnering with families to nurture young hearts in faith so that they may grow to trust, and follow Jesus throughout their lives.

Beyond the church, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband and our three kids, often with a great cup of coffee in hand. I love engaging in community and sports activities, and you might also find me coaching high school cheerleading at Lynden Christian. I’m grateful for the opportunity to invest in the next generation—both in ministry and in everyday life.

In this role, I will be welcoming visitors to the office, communicating with the church body through email, answering phone calls, assisting with ministry coordination, and supporting a variety of administrative tasks.

Outside of the office, I cherish time spent with my husband, Adam, and our four children—Kai, Reed, Chase, and Norah. I love being outdoors in God’s beautiful creation, whether it's camping, catching a sunset, staying active, or making it to the beach whenever possible. I also enjoy reading, sipping a warm cup of tea, and cheering on my kids in their sports activities.
