If I could have any superpower, it would be?
"For my superpower I'll take the Superman package... flying, super speed and strength, x-ray vision, laser eyes... the works. If we're doing this might as well do it big!"

How long have you been working at YFC?

"I started working at YFC September of 2022. And it has been awesome I might add."

What inspires you most about your role at YFC?
"What inspires me most is that I get to be part of God's plan of redemption and healing for the youth! And I get to do it with other people who love Jesus and kids in need. It doesn't get any better than this!"

My favorite thing to do when I was a kid was:
"There is a close tie for my favorite activity as a kid between being at the beach and playing video games."

The best advice I ever got was:
"It's hard to pinpoint the best advice I've ever had but one of the top things that sticks out is someone once told me "Not everything is a joke." It may not seem like a profound statement but to me it still carries a lot of weight in my life."

If I could have any superpower, it would be? 

"Shape shifting. That way I could eat anything I want, not have to workout and still be able to maintain a perfect physique. "

"I started at YFC in 2021 and am excited about what God is doing here. "

What inspires you most about your role at YFC?

"I am excited about the opportunity to impact this next generation with the liberating truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With so many confusing and destructive messages being funneled at them, it is imperative that we become all the bolder in sharing God's love and freedom with this generation."

My favorite thing to do when I was a kid was:

"I think my favorite thing was to simply playing outside with my friends. Whether it was football, whiffle ball, basketball, soccer, bike riding or sledding, being outside and active was my favorite thing to do."

The best advice I ever got was:  

​"
God is no respecter of persons. Anything that He has done for anyone else throughout history, He will do for you, if you will believe and pursue Him for it. He is constantly looking for people who will simply take Him at his Word."

To snap my fingers and have my household laundry washed, dried, folded and put away!! LOL.  
On a serious note, I wish I had the superpower of wiping away negative memories.  They hold people back, stunt growth and give the enemy a playground to wreck havoc.

How Long Have You Been on Staff With YFC?
Spring of 2022

What inspires you most about your role at YFC?
Knowing that at every opportunity seeds are being planted and cultured in young people's lives regardless of background, culture, environment and other limitations.  We always have victory in Christ!

My favorite thing to do when I was a kid was:
Didn't have just one.  But I loved playing softball, gardening with my grandmother, tinkering with my grandfather in the garage, cooking and baking.  I guess I just loved learning skills from my elders.

The best advice I ever got was:
You are not the product of your surroundings, so don't put limits on God!

If I could have any superpower, it would be? 
"As a kid and young adult I have always had a passion for justice. That passion remains but becoming a mother has also made me a huge DC Comics, Avengers and Star Wars fan. I have been asked this question often by my kids (especially my three sons) and my response is always the same "all of them."  So they nicked-named me "ALL THE" a few years ago, and they still ask for her by name when they need something "GREAT" to happen, so there you have it!" 

How long have you been working at YFC?

“I started at YFC in October of  2022"

What inspires you most about your role at YFC? 
"Having the opportunity to cultivate a meaningful relationship with kids while showing them and leading them to the love of Christ."

My favorite thing to do when I was a kid was:
"Staying active in any sport and especially with my closest friends. I was an athlete all the way through college and I still enjoy being active now especially now as a mother of 5 young athletes."

The best advice I ever got was:
"What you believe, changes the course of your life concerning everything!"
