My Ministry:

Along with maintaining the website and helping Pastor Daniel with administrative tasks, I am responsible for working with the pastoral and leadership team in creating designs that’s sole purpose is to communicate with the public events going on within the community and any important information that needs to be relayed. If it is a banner, poster, bulletin insert, card, brochure, announcement slide or social media post, chances are I am the one that designed it.

About Me:

Over night I became ingrained in this church community and am grateful for this turn of events in my life. I grew up in small town Jerome and have only ever known small town churches. Being a part of a large and growing church community all of a sudden is a little overwhelming at times and is an adjustment for my introverted self, yet everyone has been extremely kind and the atmosphere very welcoming. I am very happy to be here!

I have many hats but first and most importantly I am a momma of four. Two angel babies and an almost 6 year old and 2.5 year old. My husband and I moved here from Pocatello immediately after we got married almost 8 years ago. Along with my duties as the Creative Communications Administrator for CCC, I am the Art Director for Idaho Magazine and the Director for Idaho Falls Classical Conversations. I have also begun the rewarding challenge of homeschooling which has enabled my daughter to take on extra-curricular activities that I have taken pleasure in attending with her.

Designing is my passion and outlet. I’ve been designing for almost 15 years and when we lost our first born I turned to graphic design to express my grief by creating an Etsy store that has artwork for others going through infant loss. When I start designing something it's easy for me to get immersed in my design and get carried away creating 5 to 10 more versions then is probably needed.

I am not a very social person, preferring one on one conversations over groups, but l do enjoy social gatherings of a few people and participating in events like couples game nights. If I'm not designing, I like diamond painting, reading a good historical fiction novel, doing a puzzle or brain games. With my family we like to go on bike rides, go boating, travel, and play games together.
