I am so grateful for the opportunity to join the St. Andrew team as the new Children’s Minister! I became a member in 2025 with my husband and our two children, and we instantly felt at home here. With a background in Early Childhood Education and years of leadership in children’s and family programming, I’m excited to bring a deep passion for nurturing children’s growth, building strong relationships with families, and creating joyful ministry experiences. I had the opportunity to serve as the Children’s Ministry Director at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley for 3 years, and have most recently worked for Girl Scouts River Valleys as the Product Program Manager of Girl Experiences. I’ve spent much of my career developing meaningful curriculum, leading volunteer teams, and creating programming and events that foster connection and belonging. My experience combines creativity, organization, and a heart for service — all grounded in a strong commitment to explorative, safe faith formation and joyful, inclusive ministry. I am so excited to get to know all of the children and families at St. Andrew!
