On a Lighter Note
If you could interview someone, who would it be?
I would love to interview two women – Mother Teresa and a young woman inspired by her, Katie Davis Majors. Katie moved to Uganda as a missionary at age 18, became an adoptive mother to 13 daughters at age 23, and established the Amazima Ministries in Uganda.
Where is an exciting place you have visited or an incredible view you have seen?
I have had the good fortune to visit many beautiful places, including a honeymoon in northern Italy, a soccer trip to London and a mother-daughter mission trip to the Dominican Republic. The most exciting place, however, was our family’s journey to the ancient cities of Beijing, Taiyuan, and Guangzhou, China, when we adopted our youngest son. We toured the Forbidden City, climbed the Great Wall, and visited pandas. Yet, what still takes my breath away is when I remember holding our new son for the first time.
Do you have a favorite sports team?
Yes. As an OSU alumna whose spouse and two children either attended or are currently attending The Ohio State University, I say, “Go Bucks!”
