I am so excited to be joining the team at CPC as Director of Youth Ministries! We serve a God who calls all His children to live as disciples of Jesus – growing in community and serving the world. CPC is a place that embodies this call and empowers young and old to be people of mission. I look forward to partnering with you as we invest in the lives of students, mentor them in their walk with Jesus, play and serve, and encourage and empower each other as missionaries in the world. 

I am an Oregon native and Whitworth University grad. I love everything outdoors, Oregon Duck football, Portland professional sports (SO EXCITED the Fire are back!), ice cream, and a strong cup of coffee. I am high energy, creative, and enjoy building relationships with people, professionally and personally. I have served a variety of ministry contexts. I have been an Associate Pastor in Bloomington, Illinois as well as working in community development and youth outreach through the YMCA. I have also been in ministry chaplaincy and most recently, serving as solo pastor of a church in Montana. While in Illinois, I was a foster mom to seven kids over two years – five at one time accidently (ages 12, 9, 8, 6 & 2). This has been my favorite job in life so far! When not working, my black lab Jackson and I can be found adventuring in the mountains or at the coast, hanging out with friends, snuggled up on the couch reading a good book, or binge watching a show on Hulu.
