My husband, Daniel, and I were both born and raised in Titusville, FL, and are high school sweethearts. We have three children together. I became a nurse in 2007, and worked in the NICU (newborn intensive care) at AdventHealth Orlando for 12 years. Loving mercy work and human care, I decided to become a deaconess where I could use my skills as a nurse to care for the spiritual health of people and spread the Gospel. I graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary – Fort Wayne in 2021 with an M.A. in deaconess studies. Deaconesses are trained to teach the faith, engage in acts of mercy, and give spiritual care/counseling. I love to do all of these! I work with the Lutheran Haven, Women’s, and Marriage Ministries.
