Hi, I’m Emily!  I grew up around Springfield and went to Hillcrest High School.  I graduated from Missouri State in 2007 with a degree in Spanish.  I have been working with youth groups for over 7 years.  I started out as a volunteer at King’s Way UMC in Springfield and then came to West Plains after college.  I love building relationships with youth and seeing God do amazing things in their lives. 

In my spare time I like to spend time with friends and family, read, play sports, camp, hike, and travel.  I love going to church camp and on mission trips.  Basically I’m up for any adventure.  My two favorites were the summer I spent in Texas/Mexico leading youth groups on mission trips and the two weeks I spent in Israel with my friends in college.  I’m also a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan. 

My office is on the second floor, off of the parlor by the sanctuary.  Come see me sometime!
