The Lord placed the opportunity as Development Assistant before me in March 2007. What a blessing! Prior experience as a stay-at-home mom, operations secretary, and food service manager certainly helped prepare me for the attention to detail, planning, and confidentiality that goes along with my primary responsibility of building relationships with our constituents through database management, mailings, and events.

 

My husband, Chad, and I have two children: Connor (LLHS ’11), who married Bethany in spring 2019, and Brock (LLHS ’14) and Riley who were married in summer 2020. I love photography, scrapbooking, and cheering on our sons in life. Probably not a big surprise that our family also follows the Brewers, Packers, and Badgers! In my downtime I enjoy reading and walking our dog.

 

Someone once told me…wherever we are, it is the relationships that make our experience.  As a Lakeside staff member, parent, volunteer, supporter, family, and—most importantly—friend in Christ, I feel very thankful.

 

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
