,Hello! I was born and raised in West Bend, WI and graduated from Carthage College in 2013. There I received my B.A. degree in Religion (with minors in Music and Psychology). Before coming to St. Luke's I served in several churches with their youth ministry programs. Youth ministry has always been a passion of mine. Each year I look forward to mission trips, events, and conversations with our students and families. There is something about helping youth grow in their knowledge and understanding of their faith that keeps me going. Outside of churchwork I enjoy playing the guitar, singing, camping, deer hunting, and racing. Any questions? Feel free to ask! 

Favorite Bible Verse:   Psalm 135:3 - -  "Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for he is gracious."  

Carol is an advocate of music as an expression of praise, thanksgiving and prayer in the worship life of a congregation. She has been involved as a church musician since high school. Her degrees in music are from Concordia College, Moorhead, MN, and the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, with additional studies at the U of MN, and U of Nebraska. She has taught music in the schools and served as a music director, organist and choir director in several churches in Wisconsin, Nebraska and North Dakota. In addition to her duties at St. Luke's she is an active accompanist for schools and organizations and sings with the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus and Lutheran A Cappella choir and is involved in the Milwaukee Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. She believes that being involved in music in the church is an act of service and an opportunity to share gifts and talents to enrich and inspire the congregation and help them in their faith journey. Married to Mark, between them they are blessed with 5 children and a large number of grandchildren. Carol is delighted to be serving at St. Luke's and looks forward to all the musical experiences that are forthcoming.
