DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN, YOUTH & FAMILY MINISTRIES

When did you join the staff and what is your position?

I was hired as the Youth Director in 2011 and added the title of Children’s Director in 2017 and most recently added the title of Director of Family Ministries in 2022.  I am honored to work with such wonderful children and youth as well as their families. We have so much fun together as we grow closer to Christ and closer to each other.

Do you have family?

I am married to Jackson and we have two beautiful daughters, Virginia Grey and Mavis.

Where were you born and raised?

I grew up here in Wilmington. I graduated from Hoggard and then UNCW, taught 2nd Grade for a few years, owned and operated a local retail store for 10 years, and then through a set of extraordinary, divine circumstances,  I have been led to WUMC to serve as Director of Children, Youth and Family Ministries, and feel blessed beyond measure for the opportunity.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I love to play tennis, go to concerts, and be with my family and friends.

I look forward to seeing you all at Wrightsville UMC!

Contact me anytime.
