A Purdue University pharmacy school graduate, I entered corporate America and never looked back. Ministry, however, was my parallel career.
I taught my first VBS Bible class at the age of 12.\ and preached my first sermon at 18 at my childhood church. I have been a youth group leader (twice). Led women’s ministries at churches in Chicago and Phoenix. I love teaching Bible studies of any kind or flavor and have been both a retreat and conference speaker.
In 2018, I entered the world of prison ministry.
I taught a weekly Bible study in the Arizona women’s prison for 4 years In 2025, I transitioned to teaching both Bible Studies and Life Skills to women who have transitioned from prison and are reestablishing their lives.

Through all those seasons of ministry, I have also known the very real struggle of holding onto my faith. Pain, loss, infertility, struggling to understand the God I thought I knew. Sometimes full of faith and other times sure I had lost it altogether.
