I grew up in Chicago, although I call Minnesota home now. I have served in various churches and non-profits in the Twin Cities for over 20 years. My undergraduate degree is from Bethel University, and in 2006, graduated with a Masters degree in Organizational Leadership, also from Bethel. Helping people be the best version of who they were created to be in my life focus. Supporting the many facets of OHF is a pleasure and joy. I live in Eden Prairie with my husband, Andrew and 3 young children.
