My name is Makenzie Elmore, I was born and raised in the beautiful Applegate Valley. I graduated from Hidden Valley High School and attended Southern Oregon University graduating with a degree in Human Services. I have had a passion for working with children from a young age. I have had the opportunity to work with kids through 4-H, AWANAS, and as a teacher. I am excited the Lord has led me to New Hope and to teach young children about Jesus's love for them.
 I have been married to my husband for 13 years and we have been blessed with four amazing children. We love to hunt, camp, fish and serve the Lord.
