My husband, Rob, and I, along with our two children, Evelyn (15) and Robby (13), joined UNITY in 2022, drawn by the multiple service times and the opportunity for outdoor worship.  Evelyn was confirmed in September 2025 and Robby is currently in the confirmation program.  Both kids serve as VBS crew leaders, which has been a fun way for them to give back to the congregation.

I serve as the Adult Programs council member.  In my professional role as Program Director at Siebert Lutheran Foundation, I spend a lot of time learning what churches across the region are doing to engage their members and communities and I'm excited to bring some of those ideas to UNITY.  Outside of work, I enjoy reading, cooking and baking, traveling, walking/hiking, golfing, and cheering on my kids at their athletic events.

My husband, Jon, and our two children (Michael and Keira) joined UNITY in October, 2013. We were looking for an ELCA church with a strong children's program and found our faith family at UNITY. I enjoy teaching Sunday School and leading small groups with the Confirmation students. I started the role of Christian Education council member and have been exposed to so many additional opportunities at UNITY.

I obtained a Human Resources degree (BBA) from the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh. I have been employed at Mercer since 2000, and currently lead their pension administration implementation team.

My family first began attending UNITY in 2012, when my oldest kids were toddlers.  After leaving for a six year stint in California, we moved back to Wisconsin in 2021 and solidly put down roots in Brookfield.  We were welcomed back to UNITY with open arms and since then have embraced Sunday school, First communion, Confirmation classes and the multitude of servanthood opportunities that UNITY offers.

I am a physical therapist and enjoy running, cycling and anything outdoors.  My husband, Joel, and I have four daughters and spend our days supporting them in various sports and extracurriculars.  We are so grateful for the friends and strong community we’ve found in UNITY!
