Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
i live in downtown Hamilton with my husband Jarod and two cats. i love this city. i'm taking turns completing two graduate programs. one at McMaster Divinity in theology, another at Mohawk in heart ultrasound. after working at a church downtown for the past few years, we're now at LIFT, the first "student church" i've ever been to. it's a whole new context and world to learn from, and i'm excited to see where we go from here!

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"This is the true joy of life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy." - George Bernard Shaw

"All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty." - Proverbs 14:23
