Leadership & Ministry Staff

I became a Christian in high school through a local church youth group.
In 2009 I joined Trinity (then known as Green Lake Presbyterian) as Assistant Pastor, working with staff and fellow leaders to develop the church's ministry and mission. After some time, I became the Senior Pastor and oversaw our move to Ballard. God continues to bless us richly with an amazing community, a wonderful staff, and a growing mission.
Doctor of Ministry, Covenant 2025 Master of Divinity, Covenant 2009 BA (English Literature), Western Washington University 2002

I became a Christian as a young child, but my faith was renewed, enlivened, and made more my own as a young adult through the ministry of Reformed University Fellowship.
In 2010 I arrived at Trinity for a summer internship. My husband grew up attending Trinity with his family, and when we got married in 2014, we made it our church home.
I really enjoy the active life of our church and witnessing the ways that people are deepening their knowledge and love of the Lord through study of his word, weekly corporate worship, and walking in community with one another.

I first met Christ on my mother’s lap as a small child. Having lied to her earlier, I was convicted as she read to me the 23rd Psalm and realized I was a lost sheep who needed a shepherd.
After college, I attended Trinity for about 9 months before leaving for seminary. Having always wanted to live and serve in the northwest, the Lord brought me back to Trinity after 7 years away following the end of the covid years.
I love serving students and families with the gospel - helping people see its beauty and power in our lives.
B.A. Philosophy SPU, M. Div. Covenant Theological Seminary, Worked as a youth pastor in Baltimore for three years. Spent 8 years in the Army serving as Chaplain and chaplain candidate.

I was raised in a strong Christian home, and have known from my earliest memories that I belonged to the Lord and that he belonged to me.
After graduating from Covenant College, I came to Trinity (then Green Lake Presbyterian) in 1978 as Christian Ed Director until 1985, when I left the role to begin a ministry of creating and publishing Vacation Bible School curricula. In 2020, after handing the VBS ministry over to our denomination, I returned to my role at TCS as Children's Ministry Director.

I love equipping and supporting the church body in raising up our children to "glorify and enjoy" God with all their hearts, and to know and love his Word.

While raised in a strong Christian home and never recalling a time I didn't believe the gospel, I was convicted of a deep need for Christ in my early teens.
Our family joined Trinity in 2014 when I was hired as Pastor of Worship, where I’ve been leading and working alongside God's people every week to sing and be shaped by the gospel.
