    I joined as the Interim Youth Director in September of 2021. I am excited to reach out to the youth of the Waynesburg community and invest my time with students to help them know Jesus better and develop friendships.  I am working towards a Nursing degree at Waynesburg University with a minor in Biblical Ministry Studies. I enjoy drinking a good cup of coffee and watching football on Sunday afternoons.

    Director of Children's Ministry & Worship

    I joined the First Pres. staff during the Fall of 2010. I attended Messiah College and Waynesburg University before singing opera professionally and becoming a vocal coach, both of which I still do.  When I'm not making music, I enjoy reading and being with friends and family, and I love wildlife and nature.

    I have been the church custodian over the last several years. I know every nook and cranny of the church from the boiler room to the classroom spaces. Let me know if you need help finding anything. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Terry, and watching the Ohio State Buckeyes on TV.
