Jamalyn earned her degree in Sales Management from Purdue University before answering a call to full-time ministry and earning her Master of Divinity from Duke University, where she met her husband, Dave. Ordained as an Elder in 2008, Jamalyn has served Greensburg UMC, Milroy UMC, St. Luke's UMC, and Zionsville UMC. Dave is also an ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church.

In 2024, Jamalyn returned to her roots in sales and became a Realtor—a blessing that came at just the right time as she and Dave began thinking about college tuition for their now 18- and 20-year-old children. What began as a practical decision quickly became another form of ministry. Today, Jamalyn sees real estate as an opportunity to walk alongside families through moves, transitions, and new beginnings with the same care and compassion that have shaped her years in ministry.
