Carlisle joined the May Memorial Staff as the Associate Pastor for Family and Communities in 2022.   She loves the discipleship she gets to do with children, youth, and senior adults, as well as community outreach and other pastoral duties.  

Carlisle has a bachelor's degree in Middle School education from Longwood University and a master's of divinity from Truett Seminary at Baylor University.  She was a teacher and a church administrator before accepting a call to ministry, attending seminary, and pursuing vocational pastoral work.  She's grateful for the many experiences that have led her to this role at May Memorial.  

Carlisle has been married to her high school sweetheart, Ethan Davidhizar since 2012 and they have two boys - Rusty and Declan.  She is passionate about spending time with the people she loves, reading, and cooking.
