My writing journey began with a powerful encounter with God — one that changed my life and set me on a path I never expected. My first book, Beautifully Broken to Know Him, was born out of that season, when God revealed Himself in a way that carried my family through something we never could have imagined. That experience became the foundation of my ministry and a testimony of His faithfulness in the middle of brokenness. I spent many years teaching children’s church, pouring God’s love into little hearts and watching Him move in simple, beautiful ways. Later, God called me to preach, and I have carried that calling faithfully, sharing messages filled with Scripture, compassion, and the gentle truth that God meets us right where we are. In recent years, God has led me to minister to nursing‑home residents, bringing comfort, hope, and emotional healing to people walking through some of life’s hardest seasons. Through every chapter I write, my desire is simple — to help hurting hearts feel seen, loved, and held by the God who restores, rebuilds, and redeems.
