My husband, John, and I have called Blacknall home since 2020, along with our three children, Liza (21), Cate (11), and James (10).

I am deeply grateful to belong to a community that loves God’s Word and seeks to live out Christ’s love everyday. Some of my most meaningful connections have been forged through Women’s Bible Study, where I co-facilitate a small group, and through the Chapel Hill small group we co-lead.

I am grateful daily for the gift of faith – the unearned saving grace of Jesus that Paul beautifully articulates in Ephesians 2:8. God has used many churches to shape my faith. I have deep roots in the Presbyterian church, where I was baptized and developed a personal relationship with Christ. I’m married to a PC(USA) pastor, and spent nine years volunteering alongside John during his time as a campus minister. I have also been richly blessed by gospel-centered churches beyond our denomination and delight in the ways Blacknall weaves different traditions together in worship.

Professionally, I am an entrepreneur. After earning my MBA, I co-founded and spent 18 years building a business with my father. Since selling the company, I have served on the board of the Center for Christian Study at the University of Virginia, coach UNC entrepreneurship students, volunteer in our children’s schools, and mentor students through the NC Study Center.

It would be a joy to serve Blacknall as an elder, humbly seeking to embody the truth and beauty of Jesus together.
