I'm a follower of Jesus, a daughter, a sister, a friend, an auntie to beloved nieces and nephews, and I love all things family, people, culture, music, serving, long walks, audio books/podcasts, laughter, theology, coffee, and travel! Prior to Eastside, I served in the Student Ministry and Kids Ministry at my church, traveled as a missionary for 3 years, and was a nanny for 10 years. I have a big heart for children and families, and I deeply desire for the next generation to come to know and love Jesus with all of their hearts, souls, minds, and strength.

My hopes for Eastside would be that we would be a people marked by the love of Jesus Christ and that our love would extend throughout East Dallas, that we would boldly and zealously live out the Great Commission as ambassadors for HIS Kingdom, and that we would, as a family, outdo one another in showing honor as we live out the gospel in our homes, our neighborhoods, our city, and to the ends of the earth.
