I am so excited to be doing ministry alongside the people of Bethlehem. I am grateful to be part of a community that seeks to welcome all and teach everyone that they are all worthy of love and belonging. Bethlehem called me as Associate Pastor in 2022. Prior to that I served a congregation in Owatonna, Minnesota which was my first call after graduating from seminary.
I grew up in Plymouth, Minnesota, but all of my extended family live in South Dakota where both my parents were raised. I graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2013 and then again from Luther Seminary in 2017. I enjoy being a part of the Southeast Minnesota Synod Community Accompaniment Table and also a member of the board for Crossroads Campus Ministry at MSU.
I love to run, and bake cupcakes, and read a good book. You will almost always find me with a cup of coffee or tea in hand. Music is also a passion of mine- usually you can find me singing or playing guitar. Sometimes you will also find me cheering on the Twins or the Wild.
