I live in Manhattan with my husband, Phil, our daughter Morgan, and our 2-year-old Boxer dog, Nash (yes, absolutely named after one of our favorite places, Nashville). Morgan attends LCA. You can find her smiling in the Fourth-Grade class. I have my bachelor’s degree in Marketing and over the years have worked in an array of industries and environments, with this journey being my favorite and most exciting one yet to come.

Our favorite thing to do as a family is to escape Illinois and enjoy Michigan with our extended family. Spontaneous adventures have our name written all over them, while we also embrace downtime every chance we get. My path with faith is one I say is like a gravel road to a dirt road to blacktop, and at times loops back again. Nothing about it or us is perfect, but that is what makes this journey real and a true blessing. Knowing that God sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to die for us, for our sins, and through His grace and having faith saves us- this allows us to write an amazing story no matter which “road” we are on. He is before us, beside us, behind us, and most importantly- within us.
