My family has been members of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton family since 2014. I have been married to my husband, Devin, for 21 years, and we have four children - Jacob, Aubrey, Emerson (Emma) and Charlotte (Charlie). My family loves the Iowa State Cyclones, camping and tailgating, music, and show choir. I also love reading and online shopping!
In 2014 I was the first Coordinator of Children’s Ministry here at St. Elizabeth’s, creating the PRAYground and PRAYZkids programs. Devin and I have also led VBS since 2015.
I have a degree in Secondary Education English and Speech/Theatre and eleven years of classroom teaching experience. I taught high school for eight years before taking time to stay home with my children when they were young.
When Charlie started Kindergarten, I returned to the classroom and taught Language Arts at Regis Middle School. before coming back as a staff member at St. Elizabeth's.
I am thrilled to be back here at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton as the Family Ministry Coordinator; My position encompasses our three Children’s Ministry programs (PRAYground, PRAYZkids, and Children’s Liturgy of the Word), Vacation Bible School, sacramental preparation for Baptism, First Reconciliation, and First Communion, as well as the future of our newly formed Family Ministry.
I am so excited to learn and develop new opportunities for children and families to grow in their relationships with Jesus Christ!
