My passion is to live a life of worship and for others to connect with God through worship as well. I long to see the church engaged, communing with the Lord not just in congregational worship, but also in their day-to-day lives.

I started attending Valley Vineyard in 1994 with my family as a kid. Over the years, I fell in love with worshiping God, and in high school, joined the youth worship team. I continued to serve in ministry on the main service worship team while attending college and working. In 2013, I was asked to join the staff as the Bookstore Manager. My role eventually transitioned into graphic design and social media management.
As of 2023, I was asked to take on the position of Worship Leader, which I accepted with great joy. I am excited to see how the Lord moves through me and the worship team to help our church members and visitors experience Him on a more intimate level.

My husband Damon and I met through music, and we both have a great passion for worship. We love learning and growing together as we go deeper in our walks with Jesus. Our goal is to cultivate a life of worship for our household. It brings us great joy to already see a love and understanding of worship in our toddler son, who regularly raises his hands to praise the Lord. If there is something to know about us, it’s that we are passionate about Jesus, worship, and serving our church.
