A little about my job:
I'm the Store Manager when I process purchase orders, prepare the invoices and get things ready to ship. I'm the Librarian when I process library requests, prepare the borrowing information and get the videos ready to ship. I'm Customer Service when someone contacts us about any area of our Store or Library. I'm a Public Relations Assistant when I prepare display material to be presented to those who support us. I'm a Website Assistant when I help maintain our website and online store. I'm a Packaging Manager when I put together, shrinkwrap and place our products on the shelves. I'm the Shipping Department when I ship out all the purchase orders and library requests that we receive. I'm a Writer when I prepare the monthly eNews.
Overall, I'm considered the Order Manager, and I've worked full-time at Deaf Missions since May, 2001.

A little about me:
I was born in Rochester, NY and grew up attending a deaf church where I picked up on sign language, never knowing I would one day use it here. Looking back, I see how the Lord prepared me for where I am today. (My full testimony is posted on my own website.) When I was fifteen, my family moved here to Iowa.

A few of my hobbies are writing, horseback riding, singing, fishing, and gardening. My family has four horses, two dogs, and a cat. In my spare time I write short stories and poems to be shared online, I've written some children's books, and I have three Christian novels that have been published, with several more books being written.

Living for God is my goal in life.
