Deaconess - on sabbatical

My husband, Andy, and I joined the New Life family in 2011. We have three children and are so thankful for the community we have here. I am a deaconness here at New Life Dresher

I grew up in Northeastern Ohio and then attended Grove City College, where I met Andy. At Grove City, I received a bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I taught for eight years (mostly kindergarten and first grade) before stopping to start our family. In my free time, I love to read, spend time outside (whether that is in my garden, taking a hike, or enjoying the beach), be crafty, and travel.
