Experienced with a demonstrated history in project management and team leadership. Often referred to as a “Jill of all Trades”, when faced with a complex situation involving many factors, I enjoy managing all of the variables and aligning them to achieve the vision. My combination of creative and analytical skills allows me to communicate well between right and left brained thinkers.
A love for missions was born in my heart from a young age watching my father return every year from a short-term missions trip from a different country.
This love only grew as more and more opportunities came my way including the leading and administrating trips to Rwanda. At GracePoint, I was able to take a budding love of participation in missions and build strategic partnerships around the world.
As the Communications Director at GracePoint Church for over 8 years, I oversaw all internal and external communications for the church. I did work with a top notch design firm who would create the overall design for about 75% of what was needed and then did the other 25% myself as needed.

I am proficient in Photoshop, InDesign, Pages, Word, Final Cut Pro, iMovie, and PowerPoint.
A love of film throughout my life has allowed me to have many opportunities to script, produce, director, shoot, gaff, grip, and edit videos. Enjoy these examples of just a few of the type of projects I have worked on.
Post-production has always been a passion, but working all stages of production has been a treat. It allows me to catch errors before the “fix it in post” mentality can set in.
I have also had the opportunity to do live production. Working with incredible teams at churches and live festivals, I have been able to be there for moments you can only capture in memories. One such moment happened while volunteering in the production van during a Franklin Graham Festival. Micheal W Smith walked in needing someone to run lyrics for him as he decided to change his set to a worship set. I had the amazing opportunity to sit with him going through his music and had a little mini worship session as we went through the lyrics!!
Being a cellist and often on stage, I think I bring that unique mix to a live setting of having been on both the stage and booth and knowing the unity needed for them to provide the best user experience possible.
I am still not 100% sure why in 4th grade I picked to play the cello, but I am so glad I did! Playing the cello has opened the door to so many incredible opportunities and friendships.
Where I have played:
- Spartanburg High School Symphony & Chamber Orchestras
- University of South Carolina
- Shandon Baptist Church Orchestra

Currently Board President of Coppell Community Orchestra. For more information about the orchestra visit coppellorchestra.org.
Here are a few videos where I am playing cello:
Is It Finished? - A Song by Jon Webb written for a Maundy Thursday Service. It is written from the perspective of the disciples reflecting on the death of Christ, pre-resurrection.
Holy Week Small Group Devotional - This is a combo of songs and a brief devotional by Pastor Chad Kettler for families or groups to watch during Holy Week to reflect on the cross.
On a Mexican Subway - Song by Chris Koch. Reflections on a mission trip he was on and I was invited to play cello on this recording. Cello solo begins around 4:22. I also recorded and co-produced this whole album.
More Samples coming soon.
