Interests

I have five children and two grandchildren, and we are a close-knit family who loves spending time with one another and having adventures. I enjoy hiking, traveling, refurbishing furniture, decorating, chocolate, and French fries.

Why Cedarville?

I became familiar with Cedarville University during my son's time here as a student, when I had opportunity to learn about the godly principles, values, and community that was offered and quickly learned it was a special and blessed institution. I also provided field supervision for a Cedarville student who was majoring in social work during the 2020-2021 academic year. I was inspired by both experiences and feel so grateful that I am able to freely express and incorporate the comfort, joy, and peace we can receive through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when providing counseling.
