I am a cradle United Methodist, born and raised in a Baltimore suburb. Doug and I married in 2001 and are blessed with 2 incredible kids, Mikayla (23) and Aria (18). Mik has an MA from American University, spent a year working at Rise of the Resistance in Disney World, and now lives in Atlanta, where she works for the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. Ari graduated from high school in Goldsboro in June ‘25 and now lives in Wake Forest while working on her AA at Wake Tech and discerning what career path to pursue. As a family, we love cats, Colonial Williamsburg, all things Disney, and good food. My other passions include God, people, animals, the beach, reading, photography, musicals, and traveling. I’m a 2^nd career pastor (Duke Divinity c/o 2020) who’s served churches in Goldsboro, Wendell, and Greenville. Doug (who’s a computer engineer for a living and a soccer fanatic for life) and I are excited about worshiping & serving at McMannen and living in Durham. We cannot wait to learn your story and do ministry & life with you!
