Ellie Nichols

Cristina Porter

Children's Ministry & Nursery Director

 

Amber Lipscomb

HR/Payroll

So, yeah, life's a little crazy, a lot messy, and always entertaining. If you're looking for someone who can handle anything from spreadsheets to meltdowns (both teenage and canine), while keeping a smile on their face (most of the time), then let's chat! Just be warned, I may throw in a Harry Potter reference or two, and there's a high probability of dog hair clinging to my clothes. But hey, that's just part of the charm, right?
P.S. If you have any tips on wrangling teenagers, calming hyperactive dogs, or finding extra hours in the day, I'm all ears (or should I say eyes, since I'm probably multitasking while reading this).
