I was born in Batesville, MS and attended both Northwest Mississippi Community College & the University of MS, where I graduated with a degree in Social Work and a minor in Sociology. My career gravitated toward marketing and community education with an eventual emphasis in hospice care. But my greatest joy has been raising a family with my wonderful husband of 30 years, Brad. We have 3 amazing sons. One is a freshman in college & two of them are married, thus adding two incredible daughters to our family. Last year we received the gift of our first two grand babies, Lyla & Lincoln. 

We enjoy hiking, traveling, all things outdoors (and doing whatever it takes to get us all in the same state, under the same roof at the same time). 

In the past, I have had the privilege of leading high school & adult Bible studies, serving as Family Ministries Coordinator & working on a church staff as well as volunteering in youth ministry. More recently, I have led college Bible studies & served in various mentoring roles. I volunteer in prayer ministries and serve as a spiritual counselor @ Pinelake Church in Oxford. 

I am on a lifelong pursuit of understanding who God says we are, as His children & how that impacts every part of our lives.

I have a passion for helping others find the freedom Jesus died to give, specifically through understanding and embracing our identity in Christ.

I long for authentic, honest, raw conversations about how we combat the lies of the enemy with Gods’ truths that set us free. 

I love to spend time sharing these messages with individuals as well as groups who want to know more about how claiming our identity in Christ brings about life changing freedom.
