I did not grow up in a Christian home. It wasn’t until I had my first child that I started attending church and learning about Jesus. About a year later, and with two babies, I gave my life to Christ and was baptized.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a bachelor's degree in psychology. When I started attending church, I was immediately plugged into the Children’s Ministry, serving in the rooms with the youngest. As the years progressed, I moved up as my daughter did and started volunteering with Children’s Ministry during the week. When my daughter moved up from the Children’s Ministry, she and I led a small group together for several years. By this time, I was offered my current job where I support my team by ensuring they are best equipped to run their areas smoothly.
I married my high school sweetheart, Patrick, in 1996. We have been blessed with three children: Jake, Jenna and Josh. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, camping and taking care of the plants that are overtaking my home.
