Locally born and raised as the second eldest of four kids, I'd been gone from Sonoma Country for seven years going to school, traveling and being involved in some missions outreach and leadership training. Coming back to Santa Rosa in the Spring of 2005, I found RCC and was hired in November 2005 through many God encounters!

My schooling background includes a Specialized Associates degree as an Administrative Assistant from Empire Business College of Santa Rosa, CA, and a BA in Wilderness Leadership from Prairie Bible College in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada.

I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family and value the opportunity to hang out with them. I also love the outdoors and enjoy water sports, rock climbing, backpacking/camping, watching a good sports game, and well, just takin’ a good walk! Right along with being healthy and active, a good book and the opportunity to bake something that defeats the healthy bit of my lifestyle are great too. Any opportunity to travel, experience different cultures, help people and share Christ’s love is probably top of my list.

The opportunity to share life alongside others by helping them understand Jesus’ love and then teaching them to love Him and others through a variety of ways is a bit of the heart behind who I am. Challenging and encouraging others in their walk with God naturally comes through as I listen to students as well as others share their hearts with me. It's a great journey to be on with the Creator of the Universe!
