Mary Ellen enjoys spending time with her family and friends, ATVing, having campfires, baking, reading, and spontaneous trips of adventure.

One thing Mary Ellen tells her students is that life flies by! It is so important to enjoy the little things along the way, especially time with loved ones; time with family and friends, your coaches, and most of all, the Lord. Seek God from day to day. Walk with Him daily. Make the time to be alone with God away from the busyness because He really is the most important thing. God is your source of strength and your identity. One of her favorite quotes is: “The secret is Christ in me, NOT me in a different set of circumstances.” (Elizabeth Elliot)
