Faculty Profiles

I grew up in a small town in southeastern Wisconsin with my four older siblings. I had the pleasure of being raised by two Lutheran school teachers, and my parents instilled in me a deep passion for the outdoors, the arts, and Christian education. I graduated from Concordia University, Nebraska, in 2017, receiving a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Educational Studies.

Throughout college and afterward, I worked at Camp Timber-lee (East Troy, Wisconsin) in a variety of leadership capacities from 2013-2019. Eventually, I returned to my alma mater as an Undergraduate Admissions Counselor. During that time, I began to more seriously consider how I could bring together my training in art education, my heart for student development, and my experiences with outdoor ministry. Through that process, I was led to HoneyRock in the fall of 2019 to participate in the Fellows Program. While participating in Fellows, I decided to continue my education, and in 2023 I completed my Master’s in Outdoor and Adventure Leadership (OAL) with Wheaton College at HoneyRock. Over the last few years, I’ve enjoyed working closely with the Vanguard Gap Year Program.

Now, I am looking forward to pivoting my focus towards marketing and I am eager to continue engaging with the mission of HoneyRock from a new perspective. I am grateful to serve as a conduit of HoneyRock within the greater mission of Wheaton College. I am thankful the Lord has provided this opportunity for further learning and service!
