It is both my joy and my job to lead Chapel Hill's Missions involvement, to facilitate the Adult Ministries leadership team, to oversee Women's Ministries, and supervise the Communications and Human Resources staff.

Being a part of the Chapel Hill Missions team is just the right context for me to live out my enthusiasm for what God is doing around the world through his people. I have the profound joy of hearing from, encouraging and connecting the many folks in our church who are currently involved in missional activity, and look forward to sharing this joy with more of our community.

My passion is for high school students to come to know, love, engage and encounter the living God. It is my desire to see students grow as one family, to make their faith their own, to love and know Jesus more intimately, to seek to love others and to make Jesus known. My mission is to connect every [high school] student to Christ and His community for a lifetime. I love working with students, but I love working for my God more!

For the past six years it has been my joy to work with the Adult Ministries team.  I have most recently focused in the area of Women’s Ministry.
