6 Years as a Camper

20-something Years on Staff!

After graduating from UVA with a BA in French, I taught English in Paris then ventured to UW-Madison for an MA. I’ve lived in the Nashville area for 25+ years now, first teaching French full-time @ Brentwood Academy then on staff at Christ Community Church. For 6 years now, I’ve worked full-time at Christ Presbyterian Church as Director of Missional Living where I love mobilizing/supporting over 1,000 citywide volunteers & leaders and co-leading our mission committee which oversees our $1.4M mission budget. Returning to Junior Camp to be with all of YOU is a highlight of my year - serving in a place I love - and seeing our youngest campers fall in love with Greystone, too!!
