I'm so grateful that I get to connect with the families that make up our FUSION ministry. My background includes a degree in Special Education and over fifteen years of experience teaching, coaching, and caring for individuals with disabilities and I came to Good Shepherd in 2023 to lead this ministry. This ministry has been a cornerstone in the Naperville community for years, and getting to walk together with the amazing families that make up this ministry is the best part of my job. I'm also able to work with an incredible volunteer team on a regular basis that provide a variety of ministry opportunities for families. We're able to connect kids with one on one buddies for any ministry opportunity our families are looking for on a Sunday morning and during student ministry. We also host monthly Buddy Breaks to bring together a broader community of families that can understand each other's experience immediately.
