I joined Our Lady of Grace in 2014 after moving to the Twin Cities area from Central Minnesota. After attending an Ash Wednesday service, I knew I had found my new home! I was immediately drawn in by the beauty of the sanctuary, engaging liturgy, and strong sense of a faith-filled community. In 2017, my then-fiancé completed RCIA and the sacraments of initiation, and a few months later we were married at OLG.  We have since welcomed four children, celebrated their baptisms at OLG, and are proud members of the OLG School Community.

Professionally, I have spent the last ten years working in business operations with an emphasis in project management, organizational effectiveness, and end-to-end operations planning.  Within our parish, I serve as the lead Baptism Coordinator, Extraordinary Ministry of Holy Communion and facilitate a small group. My hope as a member of the Parish Council is to continue fostering the strong sense of Catholic community at Our Lady of Grace, and in a special way represent the unique needs of families with young children within our parish.
