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
As the mom of two young adults and a wife of about thirty years, I can’t help but share real life examples of putting truth to work in life. Once an elementary school teacher and college professor, I love teaching God’s word with vivid storytelling and practical applications to inspire and equip women to find and walk out their faith. I get excited about teaching how truth connects to learning and schooling. I also enjoy speaking about topics related to leadership, parenting, mentoring, and family life.
When Jeff and I relocated to the Inland Northwest, I traded in peaches and magnolia trees for cherries and tumbleweeds. I know women share the same challenges globally and have been blessed with opportunities to teach women around the world, working as a leader and advocate for vulnerable people.
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
Having planned many events during my years as a Women’s Director and Executive Director, I know the value of having a “low maintenance” speaker to help you off of the platform as much as on the platform. I consider each event an opportunity to encourage, help, and serve you and your audience.
If you would like to talk about partnering together in your next retreat, MOPS meeting, special event, or leadership training, you can:
