Our Staff

I joined the Pine Ridge team June 1, 2015 as the Associate Pastor for Discipleship after graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary. I am passionate about helping people of all ages grow in their faith through worship, education, mission and fellowship. What I enjoy most about Pine Ridge are the people and growing together as we seek to live out God’s will by loving and serving our neighbors near and far.

My husband Joe and I moved to Kansas City after a short time on the East coast and 25 years in Phoenix where we raised our two daughters. Moving to Kansas City was coming “full circle” for us since Joe is from Lenexa, Kansas and we met while we were students at the University of Kansas. Our daughters live in Philadelphia and we enjoy visiting and traveling with them and cheering on the Jayhawks and Arizona Wildcats together. Wonder where I got my name? Come visit us and I’ll tell you!
