I’m Mahogany, and I’m all about championing the next generation and helping people grow in their faith. My journey started at Northern Illinois University, where I earned a degree in music education. But life had bigger plans! I swapped the classroom for the church and served as a children’s pastor at New Life in Christ Church in O’Fallon, IL, for almost seven incredible years.

From there, I took my passion for empowering leaders, working with the International Network of Children’s Ministry. I had the joy of equipping children’s ministry leaders worldwide to make a lasting impact. Now, I’m back at New Life in Christ Church, serving as the Director of Spiritual Formation and Pastoral Ministries—walking alongside others in their faith journeys is my heart’s calling.

When I’m not pouring into discipleship or dreaming big for the next generation, I’m probably laughing too loud with my husband, Travis, who’s been holding me down for almost eight years. Life’s been a journey, and I’m here for every blessed minute of it!
