She received her B.S. in Biology from Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina, and her master’s in education from the University of Tennessee.

They have three incredible children, Alex, 9; Olivia, 6 and Liam, 3. As a family, their calling, goal, and desires are driven by these two Scriptures:
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” -Romans 1:16
“But whatever were gains to me, I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.” -Philippians 3:7-8
