Faith
I was raised in a Christian home and committed to Jesus at 9 years old. I remember choosing my life verse, 1 Timothy 4:12: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love in faith and in purity.”
I’ve had the privilege of serving in ministry throughout my life. As a college student, I enjoyed serving as an elementary Sunday school teacher and working with high schoolers.
As a married woman, I realized my desire to come alongside couples in their marriage while my husband and I gave pre-marital counseling at our church's married couples group.
As a mother, my passion for helping local children and families became second nature.
I have a deep desire for people to know their true worth, and I allow the Holy Spirit to guide me in helping the hurting.
Family
I've been married to my husband since 2006. We have children ranging from a toddler to teenagers. My marriage and family are my number one commitment, and I work hard to nurture them every day.
Speaking
I am available to speak at local community events to provide mental health education. I especially love to talk to and encourage young teens, new moms and couples.
