Once God lights a fire in her heart, she is not afraid to trailblaze the way and walk in God’s calling for her, her family, and the community she leads. She has blazed the path as a Kindergarten teacher, K-5 ELL teacher, network marketing team leader for two companies, and an accountability coach and partnership coordinator for a top marketing and virtual event company. She is mostly known for her God given gift of mercy; helping all who meet her feel seen, heard, and valued. A common phrase she hears is “I do not know why I shared all that with you. I have never shared that before.” With a passion for empowering women and children to walk in freedom, she dedicates herself through her vlog, books, Freedom Diaries Podcast, speaking, and community engagements and events to help them reclaim hope, identity, and joy.
