What did you do before working at Lovers Lane?
I was a seventh- and eighth-grade social studies teacher before coming on to the Lovers Lane staff. While teaching, I served as a youth small group leader and attended a mission trip to Honduras. It was in Honduras where I experienced a call to ministry and stopped teaching to go to seminary.
What brought you to Lovers Lane?
I originally came to Lovers Lane UMC because my sister, who was an SMU student at the time, was attending Crosswalk. The Wesley Foundation worship leader was also leading worship in Crosswalk. Sundays at Lovers Lane became our day together. She moved out of state, and I remained at Lovers Lane because I believe in the mission and vision of the church.
Why do you appreciate serving in your ministry area?
My heart beats for mission and outreach — for those in need of God’s love and grace to know his great love for them. As we reach out to share the Good News and to meet tangible needs of the communities God has led us to, we are able to be an extension of God’s grace. I love Family Ministry because I believe our children and students ARE the church (not just the future of it).
