I’m glad you think we may be great partners in an event or project you’re working on!
I am passionate about helping people find peace and truth for everyday life. My own story motivates me to share how God’s grace is life changing (Romans 5:20), whether in a key note message, workshop, or one on one conversation.
My journey to now
When Jeff and I relocated to the Inland Northwest, I traded in sweet tea and magnolia trees for kombucha and ponderosa pine trees. I come to my messages as a leader, teacher, developer, and encourager. My blend of experiences combine to inform and inspire each message.
Having been an educator and professor, I love teaching God’s word with vivid storytelling and practical applications to inspire and equip people to find and walk out their faith. I get excited about teaching how truth connects to learning and schooling.
As the mom of two young adults and a wife of over thirty years, I weave in real life examples of putting truth to work in life when creating messages about motherhood and managing family relationships.
People share the same hopes globally. I have been blessed with opportunities to teach women and men, youth and children around the world, working as a leader and advocate for vulnerable people. I enjoy speaking about topics related to leadership, spiritual growth, cross-cultural influence, relationships, and family life. My goal is to equip people to thrive in each area of life as they grow and discover how to experience personal peace.
Sharing for your event
Jeff and I share a passion for leadership development, discipleship, cross-cultural ministry, and strengthening families. My speaking topics are fresh from my own study and the needs of your group. I aim to help listeners relax, open their hearts, understand God’s truth for life, and believe their lives can change. I love speaking in faith-based settings, but am also comfortable communicating in secular events.

My commitment to serving
From years of event planning as a Women’s Director, Executive Director, and Global Partnership Developer, I know the value of having a “low maintenance” speaker to help you off the platform as much as on the platform. I consider each event an opportunity to encourage, help, and serve you and your audience.
