I grew up attending a Catholic school and believing in God, but it wasn't until my late teens that I accepted Christ as my Savior. Against my wishes, my parents sent me to a Christian high school, but as time went on I realized what a wonderful experience it was and while there my walk with Jesus grew stronger. My family began attending Grace Church of Arvada shortly after I graduated high school in 1990. I met my husband, Troy, at the Grace college/singles small group in late 1991. Troy and I were married in February of 1993 and took some time to travel and get to know each other before we had our first son, Tommy in 2001. We welcomed Luke to our little family in 2005. Both of our boys are such a blessing and we have committed them and our marriage to Christ. We are so pleased to call Grace our home and look forward to serving here for many more years to come.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I love home decorating, so my dream was to be an interior designer. That didn't work out, but I still have fun decorating my house and helping my family and friends decorate.

What is your biggest challenge?

I tend to procrastinate and put off the big or "unfun" projects. But I keep learning that once these are completed, I feel such a weight off and think to myself, "Why did I wait so long to get that done?"

What is your idea of a perfect day?

A bit of alone time with a cup of coffee and a Hallmark mystery movie and then an activity with my husband and sons.
