I grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. I journeyed from this beautiful place that nurtured me to attend Wheaton College outside of Chicago, Illinois. I have also explored Ireland, Mexico, and Haiti in my quest to know the world and to spread hope and joy to those yet without it. I was a Spanish teacher for three years in my hometown (and the school I attended myself!), and then left to pursue a Masters degree in counseling from Westminster Seminary, located outside of Philadelphia. It was here that I met and married my husband, Seth, and we laugh about our “cross-cultural marriage” since he hails from northern New Jersey. We moved from Philly to Norfolk, Virginia, where Seth is the associate pastor at Trinity Presbyterian Church and I work as a full-time mother of twin daughters born in September 2010 and a part-time counselor. Life is many things in this new season of life, but it is certainly not boring!
