My story at St. Joseph began long before my job title ever did. I first walked these halls as a student in 1978 and continued through 8th grade, never imagining how deeply this parish would shape my life. St. Joseph has been a steadfast light for my spiritual journey guiding, grounding, and inspiring me at every stage.

My role today is the result of many years of small beginnings and steady growth. In 2012, I returned as a volunteer consultant, helping with communication initiatives simply because I loved this parish and wanted to give back. What started as “the social media gal” role in 2022, slowly grew into something much bigger. Today, I’m grateful to serve full‑time as the Marketing and Engagement Lead, using creative, out‑of‑the‑box thinking to enhance our branding, strategically help our parish family connect in new ways and to extend a warm invitation to our wider community.

I’ve received several sacraments including marriage to my husband John at St. Joe’s, and now my daughters attend school here, a long‑held hope in my heart that, after many years of praying, finally came true. This parish has shaped my life, my faith, and my family in ways I could never fully express.

I am deeply thankful for the opportunities I’ve been given and hope to be a good disciple using my creative gifts to serve, uplift, and “do good” in the ways God calls me to. I am truly blessed to be part of this team and this parish I have loved for so long.
