What I do: Pastor of Care

Spouse: Married to Mark, an accountant in Abbotsford.

Children: 2 young adult kids – Ava and Carter.

Education: I have my Masters degree in Counselling from TWU and I have the privilege of working with women, couples and families that are facing a variety of difficult situations.

How I got involved with Northview: We have attended Northview as a family for over 20 years. 6 years ago, I was asked to join the Care Department. It is a privilege to be able to teach and counsel from a Biblical perspective, and to pray with people about their struggles.

Hope and vision for Northview: I want everyone to know that we all have “muck” in our life – so welcome here with your “muck”!

A few of my favourite things: my family, a good book or tv show, walking or going for coffee with a friend.

Favourite kind of music: Spotify – mixed worship playlist.

Favourite author: too many to name since I read a lot!

I like this quote: He>I (John 3:30 (ESV) He must increase, but I must decrease)

Favourite scripture: Colossians 1:28, 29 “He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me”.

Hometown: North Vancouver.
