I was born and raised here in Cambridge, MN! I have a twin sister and an older brother. While I am single, both of my siblings are married and my brother and his wife live in the area. I also have the sweetest nephew who shares my love for dinosaurs and playing in ball pits!
I started working at FBC as an intern in JAN 2017 while I was a student at the University of Northwestern - St. Paul. That internship role, after several iterations, became my full-time job. In JUN 2022, I stepped away to pursue a different career path. After 1.5 years of doing that job, I realized my heart was still in middle school ministry, so I returned to staff at FBC in JAN 2024.
I love when students share their life with me, and I get to see them really start to grasp who Jesus is, His love for them, and seeing them really start to prioritize and pursue Jesus. It fills my heart with such deep joy when students reach out with questions about Scripture and faith, ask for prayer, share their faith with friends, and keep showing up to learn more about Jesus!
My primary focus is to build relationships with students and encourage, support, and equip them as they learn what it is to build and grow a relationship with Jesus, and walking alongside them in whatever their middle school life (and beyond) holds!
