As a member of Our Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church in Whitefish Bay, she learned about the international ministry and the teaching needs at Luther Memorial Chapel. In 2015, she began as a volunteer ESL teacher on Tuesday mornings. The development and need for a full-time director of the program named iO (International Outreach) began in the summer of 2018. That September, she was asked to be the director and she accepted.
