Hometown:
“Air Force brat” born in San Antonio, TX but I don’t have an accent. The location dearest to my heart is Crete, Greece but I’m a New Englander now.

Family:
Husband: Matthew, we have been happily married for almost 5 years

Education:
Bachelors of Social Work from Eastern University, PA

How did you come to know Christ?
I realized my sin nature at the age of seven when I purposely killed a grasshopper in Greece. It taught me that I was capable of doing bad things on purpose and that I needed God to help me be a good person.

Favorite Verse:
2 Timothy 1:7

“For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

If you were stranded on a deserted island, which three books (besides the Bible) would you want with you?
I wouldn’t want books, I would want art supplies.

Which Biblical character (apart from Christ) has impacted your life most?
Paul. His life is a lesson that we should not question who God can use. He can use anyone with any past.



What are you currently learning in your journey with God?
Trust

What is your favorite movie?
“While You Were Sleeping”

What is your favorite dessert?
Plain cheesecake!

What do you enjoy most about Chapel of the Cross?
The people who jump right in to help others without regard to acknowledgement. The teenagers, the friendly people and the massive amount of small children.

Anything else you would like to tell us about yourself?
I’m an artist and I love power tools. I think it is very cool that when God decided to come down to Earth in the form of a man He chose to be a carpenter.
