I have known Jesus since childhood, thanks to the foundation my parents gave me. During college, my faith deepened through Bible Study Fellowship, where I began to truly understand and appreciate the depth of God's Word, His grace, and the gift of salvation. My husband (Paul) and I celebrated 24 years of marriage this past August. We first met while serving together on the leadership team of Young Adult BSF. We have three children: Alivia (20), Avril (18), Anderson (16).  Of course, the favorite family member is our pug, Piper. I currently serve as a mentor mom in the Moms of Littles group and volunteer in the preschool program on Sunday mornings. Over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of leading small groups for Senior High girls and being involved in various programs at First Free. I’m a pediatric speech pathologist, blessed to work with children ages birth to three and their families. My career and ministry roles both center around supporting others and helping them communicate, whether through speech, faith, or community.
