I am very grateful to be a part of the Yorba Linda United Methodist Church community. I have grown up in the Methodist Church and have been involved in Youth and Young Adult Ministry in some capacity since college. I love working with youth and young adults and am so excited to see God working in their lives. I am a graduate of CSUF with degrees in criminal justice and comparative religions. I received my MDiv from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2007 with an emphasis on Family Pastoral Care and Counseling. I love Isaiah 40:31 which reaffirms relying fully on God in all things and at all times. In my spare time, I enjoy singing in choir, marital arts and spending time with my family and friends.

I have worked in the field of Early Childhood Education for 9 years and have enjoyed it tremendously. I have a certificate in Early Childhood Education as well as my Bachelor's Degree in Human Services. My husband , Jeff, and I live in Rancho Santa Margarita with our daughter Kayley, who was born this past April. We enjoy traveling and spending as much time as we can at the river.
