Aren joined Lifeline in October 2020.  She is from Birmingham, Alabama and serves as the Program Director of Heritage Builders.  Aren attended Baylor University and received her Bachelors in Business Administration and later her Masters of Science in Health Administration and Masters of Business Administration from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She is married to an amazing man, Jason, whom she met at Baylor. They have four children who fill their lives with excitement, joy, and new adventures daily. Their names are: Benjamin, Julia Kate, Sophie, and Jake.  Aren enjoys playing basketball with her family, traveling the world together, songwriting, and reading. And of course, studying God’s Word is a treasure. Her 3 simple joys are: ice cream or coffee (hard to choose one over the other!), sunshine, and hugs. “Already, I have discovered such warmth and receptivity to seeking the Lord and earnestly wanting to join Him in His redeeming, rescuing, and restorative work right here and around the world. How marvelous it is to become part of something this intentionally gospel-centered.”
