I felt God leading me to Lakeside many years before I actually walked through the doors on Aug. 11, 2002, but I never imagined He would use me like He has. In 2004, I left a rewarding full-time career as a journalist in order to spend more time at home with my kids (who are now young adults). It was meant to be a part-time position to help cover the expenses for a few years until they were both in school full-time. But God had other plans. Throughout the years my role at Lakeside has changed but I am now the full-time Communications Director, overseeing content for our website, newsletter, and social media. I also help newcomers get connected, and I head up our Online Host Team and Photography Team. I firmly believe I am here by no accident and I absolutely love coming to work every single day! I am married to my husband, Rob and we have two boys in post-secondary. Both play varsity sports and we love nothing more than donning school attire and cheering from the stands.
