Personal Jesus Story

I grew up going to church—first Lutheran, then nondenominational—but after a painful experience in high school and early college, I walked away from God. Throughout my school years, I was bullied for my dyslexia and struggled deeply with confidence and identity.

Two dates in 2021 changed my life forever. On Memorial Day my grandfather suddenly passed away and just 18 days later the biggest curveball was thrown at me and my family. My Dad was diagnosed with ALS. It shattered me. But instead of turning from God, I slowly started leaning in. Later that year, a friend invited me to a small group at Elevate City Church. Despite my hesitations, I found community, healing, and women who discipled me through my pain and grief.

At first, I was resistant, but by the end of 2022, God had begun transforming my heart. I began pursuing Him fully—and everything changed. In my hardest season, He brought peace, restored my worth, and gave me hope. Though I lost my dad, I have comfort knowing he’s fully whole in heaven. Jesus met me in my darkest moments, and because of Him, I’m still here—healed, growing, and full of purpose. Jesus Over Everything!

Passion for Heaven is True

I’m truly honored to be part of this incredible organization, where we’re committed to spreading the Good News and sharing the love of Jesus with as many people as possible. Our team is dedicated to living out the Great Commission from Matthew 28:16–20. The Good News transforms lives and if I can be a part of this mission then I am all in because it is what Jesus told his disciples to do!

Career Experience

I currently serve as a Care Department Intern at North Point Ministries, where I get to walk alongside individuals and families in the middle of their hardest moments—something that’s deeply personal to me and rooted in my own story of redemption.

Before stepping into ministry, I spent several years in the corporate world, leading sales teams and building strong client relationships with companies like Marena, Soliant, and PROTECT3D. While I was grateful for the success and leadership opportunities, God started shifting my heart toward something deeper—using my gifts for His kingdom and for people.

I also serve as the Event Director for the Jim Poole Memorial Golf Tournament, honoring my late father and raising awareness for ALS—something our family knows all too well. I’m also involved with Hop On A Cure by volunteering at events and fundraising for a cure.

Personal Touch

I’m super blessed with a loving family and the absolute best nieces and nephews—they keep life full of fun and joy. I truly enjoy time with friends—whether we’re having deep, meaningful conversations about how the Lord is growing us or just laughing and being our goofy selves. I’m very involved at my church (Elevate City Church), leading both a Small Group and an Equip Group. My greatest joy comes from the Lord, and I feel most alive when I’m serving others and walking alongside them in their faith journey.

Also, I’m a big sports girl—huge Phillies and Eagles fan, and I proudly cheer on Georgia Tech too! I am always down to watch or play sports with my family and friends!
