Summary

Rooted in a childhood and lifelong encounter with God’s Word, I have walked a journey from trauma, brokenness, and fear toward healing, grace, and lifelong transformation in Christ through Jesus's gospel. Trained as a social worker and professional coach, I integrate such professional skills with a calling to bring people to God through faith exploration, spiritual formation through art, bible studies, and other support services. My goal is to join a ministry that emphasizes Jesus's gospel and encourages spiritual and life transformation, bridges faith and human service by reaching children, youth, families, and the marginalized. Gifts in MBTI training, art, coaching, and parent education are additional tools in helping personal and spiritual growth in the church community. My mission is to nurture wholeness in Christ, support and empower individuals to live out God’s words, design, and foster communities shaped by love and grace.
