My Motivation

Every person who walks through the door at church matters deeply to Jesus. My greatest joy is helping create a welcoming space where someone who feels far from God can finally take one step closer to Him.

My Background

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and studied at Benedictine University. I married my husband, Brett, in May 2025. Before working at The Bridge, I was an accountant in the graphite industry.

My Spiritual Journey

On a girls’ trip to Florida, God met me right on the beach. I felt Him drawing me to Him in a way I couldn’t ignore, so I asked my friends if they’d ever experienced the same pull. That’s when my friend, Melanie, shared the Gospel with me, invited me to The Bridge, and I was baptized a few months later. The environment at The Bridge and my friendship with Melanie have shaped my walk with Jesus more than I can say.

One More Thing

I’ve never traveled outside of the United States!
