As the daughter of a professional musician-turned-pastor, music and Jesus have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I’m originally from Virginia and moved to Madison with my husband and two kids in 2023. (I married a Wisconsinite, so I should’ve known our paths would bring us back here!) While I haven’t mastered the “Midwest Goodbye” just yet, it hasn’t taken long for the Midwestern accent to seep its way into my vocabulary.
Outside of work, I enjoy singing on the worship team at church, reading or watching historical fiction, and traveling any chance I get. I’m also half Colombian and love any opportunity to practice my Spanish!
