I’m deeply honored to serve as the Director of Community Life at First Presbyterian Church—a place that has truly been “home” to me throughout every season of life. From my baptism to youth retreats and mission trips, from high school days at Dunham School to my time at LSU, from marrying my husband Russ to forming lifelong, God-ordained friendships within these walls—this church has shaped my faith journey in powerful ways.

FPC has been a constant source of spiritual growth, encouragement, and belonging. I’ve been blessed to be involved in Women’s Bible Study, the Circle Ministry, and the Greeter Ministry Team, each of which has deepened my love for this community and affirmed just how essential connection is in the life of faith.

I believe our souls are made for community, and my prayer is to serve faithfully in this role—fostering spaces where every person feels welcomed, known, and loved. May all who walk through our doors experience the joy and love of Christ that flows so abundantly within our FPC family.
