Before Bethel
I started my journey at an Extension Site of Southeastern University in Florida, where I earned my degree in Ministerial Leadership. During those college years, my passion for higher education and college students became abundantly clear. In 2018, I took the lead in launching another Extension Site, nurturing it for a year as it established itself. Following college, I relocated to Minnesota, where I married a Bethel University alum. With the university practically in our backyard, we've had the pleasure of getting to know several current students and many alumni. Attending Vespers at Bethel regularly became our way of staying connected to the student community and participating in collective worship. Additionally, a family connection to Bethel through my mother-in-law, who worked with the Seminary and Provost for eight years, provided me with firsthand insight into the institution's values. Before joining the team here at Bethel University, I spent my days as a full-time Wedding Coordinator at a venue, where I successfully coordinated over 100 events in a year. The opportunity to merge my event planning expertise with my passion for higher education is an answered prayer.

My Guiding Scripture Verse
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
