Minister, Senior Director, Adult Ministries

Top 3-5 Responsibilities
I give leadership and direction to our Adult Ministry. Specifically, Home Groups, Men's, and Women's ministries. It's the joy of my life to run with the incredible staff and leaders at TVC.

When and how did the Lord save you?
Though I grew up in a Christian home (which I'm so thankful for) I believe the Lord used Kanakuk to give me a vision of what it looked like to follow Jesus more intimately. He saved me when I was 16 years old and called me to vocational ministry in that season as well.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
We attended TVC on Saturday nights in 2011 while I was on staff at a different church in Carrollton. We left for 3.5 years to do college ministry and felt called to be a part of what God was doing at TVC in 2016. I am passionate about helping lead discipleship, equipping the saints for the work of ministry, in the local church.
