What would you like participants to know about your family?

I moved back to my hometown (Batavia, IL), where I currently live with my husband, Matt, and two littles, Sage (3) and Arthur (1).

What are your hobbies? What is a fun fact you would like the participants to know about you?

In high school I sang in a coed show choir called Swingsingers. It was one of the best, most tight knit communities I have ever belonged to and it gave me so much joy and confidence. Singing group numbers in a setting like karaoke still ranks at the top of the most fun group activities for me.

What do you hope participants will take away from your session(s)?

I want all new workers to understand their role and calling as mobilizers for global work and what kind of influence they have in the lives of others.

What would you like to share with participants about how you connect with the Lord, as an encouragement to them?

My understanding of God as a loving parent has deepened so much through becoming a mother myself. Experiencing unconditional love, desiring to see my children thriving and joyful, having great pride in them and wanting to shower them with every good gift in the world has shown me the heart of God as our loving parent.
