I have a deep love for island life and still hold a special place in my heart for Hawaii, where I was born and raised in my early years. Most of my family still lives there, which makes it a wonderful reason to visit when ever I can. When I was 12, I moved to Virginia, where my journey of faith and education continued to flourish. I went to Summit Christian Academy for high school and later attended Liberty University, where I studied Marketing. Now, I’m so grateful to be the Communications Director for Coastal Community Church, where I get to blend my love for storytelling, connection, and ministry.
I’m married to Brandon Parker, and we’re raising our three amazing boys—Elijah (16), Noah (14), and Israel (7). Life with three boys is always a whirlwind, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
When I’m not working, you can catch me at the beach, or by the pool with a good book. I love to travel and really I enjoy cooking (which is a lifesaver with four hungry men at home), I also enjoy a great movie, hanging out with my family.
I’m really passionate about using my gifts to serve others, build meaningful connections, and help share the heart and mission of the church with our community.
