I grew up here in the Hill Country and graduated from Ingram ISD in 2014. I then attended Schreiner University and studied Nursing and Public Health. I have been involved in some sort of childcare since I was a camp counselor at the age of 17. My husband, Shane, and I have been together for 7 years and have two beautiful children.  I have been a member of KFUMC since 2018. In 2021, I began working at Bright Beginnings Playgroup and quickly became involved in several ministries. I now teach at Bright Beginnings Playgroup, teach Children's Church, and am the Nursery and Little Stars Coordinator. 

When I started college, this was not where I saw myself being 10 years later. I am so thankful that God showed me the path I was meant to be on and that he helped me to see my true passion was teaching the awesome kids in our congregation his word, and how to live in his light. I have found such joy and a relationship with God I never knew was possible. I am so thankful.
