I was born and raised in Wabash, IN. I moved to Fort Wayne while attending IPFW where I met Sam. We quickly became best friends but it took 4 years of friendship to start dating and two year after that to get married. We have two beautiful daughters, Josie and Claire.

I was a florist for 4 years before working at Bethel Ministries and still like to jump into floristry when I get the chance to help my old coworkers for a big wedding or Valentine’s Day.

I’m a passionate gardener, a dog lover, and bird watcher. As a relaxing past time, I love sitting down with a cup of coffee and coloring in my adult coloring books.
