I grew up in the church, but I really began following Jesus when I was in high school. I spent my college years leaning into ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship while I got my degree. My husband Brian and I got married after graduation, and we eventually settled here in Peoria. We had our son Joshua in 2014, and our daughter Abbie arrived in 2017. Our family came to Richwoods after many years at our previous church in the summer of 2023. After spending a decade being a full-time stay at home mom, I received my certification in proofreading late 2023 and began working from home on book manuscripts, medical documents, and web content. With my wiring for details and structure, this was a great fit for me from the start, and I’m so excited to see how I can use these skills at Richwoods in my admin role. It’s a joy to see how there’s a place for everyone in the body to use their unique gifts, and I’m thankful to be able to serve my church family with what God gave me!
