I grew up in Rochester, New York, and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. My husband, Michael, began teaching at Millersville University in 1996, which brought us to Lancaster. We chose Grace Church due to its Biblical teaching and focus on global missions.
As Director of Missions, I oversee and coordinate our global outreach programs. My goal is to see every member of the Grace Church family involved in the Great Commission. I've served in this role, first as a volunteer and then as a staff member, since 2012. As Director of Care, I assist the pastors with various congregational care needs and lead our Stephen Ministry Team.. I also lead the GO Team, which handles aspects of global missions at Grace, including connecting the church family to our global staff and projects, budgeting, recruiting and mentoring new missionaries, providing missionary care, and overseeing short-term teams.
My husband, Michael, teaches in the Math Department at Millersville University. I have two adult daughters: Hannah recently completed a degree in Marketing at MU, and Gillian is an ESL teacher. In my free time, I enjoy reading, music, and exploring new cultures and cuisines. I love hearing people's stories, getting to know them on a deeper level, and offering encouragement on their faith journey.
