What I do: I am the director of Children's Ministries at SUMC.

What I love about what I do: Kids are the best! They are honest and earnest and hilarious. Watching children grow - physically, mentally and spiritually - is a privilege. It is my honor to serve children and their families through their journey of faith.

My dream for Saginaw UMC: My dream is for every child who enters through the doors of Saginaw UMC to know, to their core, that they are deeply and wholly loved - by God, and by their church.

Brag about my family: I have a son named Henry who will start kindergarten in the fall, and he is a Star Wars expert at just five years old. I also have a husband, Lance Marshall, who is a pastor at FUMC Fort Worth.

Favorite Scripture: "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart." Galations 6:9

Currently Listening to: the audio book I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai
