I grew up in a small town in western Pennsylvania. I got my BS in Health and Physical Education from Edinboro University. As part of my studies, I interned at Duke University where my love of North Carolina was sparked. After my internship I joined Americorps NCCC and met my husband in Arkansas. We got married in North Carolina, and then a couple years later after moving a few times, we put down roots in NC 8 years ago. After living in NC for a year, we had our son which eventually led us to HLA. I love serving beside my family in our local church. My favorite pastimes are hiking, doing all the arts and crafts, and spending time with the people I love.
I’m super excited for my second year working at HLA and getting to share the love of Jesus with the kids and grow with them this year!!
