My husband, Chris, and I have three children and attend Sunnyside Mennonite Church. We lived in Cambodia for seven years, working with Eastern Mennonite Missions and Mennonite Central Committee. Our oldest two children are Cambodian. Since returning to the United States I have worked as a translator/interpreter for Cambodian families in the Lancaster area. I enjoy leading worship and playing soccer, and I have interests in farming, health and medicine, and music.
