With roots in Vancouver, WA, and a deep love for ministry, I’m grateful for my long journey with CPC. I first began attending Columbia Presbyterian through an invitation from my best friend in middle school. CPC’s youth ministries blessed me tremendously, and before long, I found myself involved in programs at the church almost every day of the week!

After high school I went on to Whitworth University, where I majored in Theology and earned a Certificate in Ministry, with a goal of becoming a middle school youth director. I was thrilled to live out that dream for over a decade at three different churches – Columbia Presbyterian, Central Kitsap Presbyterian, and First Presbyterian in Colorado Springs. My time in youth ministry was rewarding and has shaped my approach to nurturing faith and community.

In 2018, I returned to Vancouver to be near family and, during the pandemic, unexpectedly found a passion for administrative work at CPC. It’s been a perfect blend of my love for office supplies, graphic design, and ministry! My husband, Ron, and I married in 2014, and we enjoy Saturday drives, spoiling our animals, and teaching first aid and CPR classes together.

Serving at CPC has allowed me to integrate creativity, organization, and ministry in ways I never anticipated, and I’m grateful to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community.
