​THE SHEPHERD'S CHURCH
6051 TRYON ROAD
CARY, NC 27518
Author, Speaker, Bible Teacher & Coach
Professional dry shampoo user who loves the Bible + that girl with that weird medical thing. The knowledge of man says that there is no reason why I should still be here today, but I’ve long since stopped putting my faith in man.
​
Once upon a time, I loved tiny seashells, motherhood, and Harnett County soil. Life was a dream. Until it... wasn't.
​
Yeah, my life's been a bit of a rollercoaster. I've got this thing called Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (vEDS for short) that I inherited from my mom. In plain speak? It's a crazy genetic disorder that makes life... interesting. I've had everything from a miscarriage to a ruptured carotid artery, and doctors say I'll be lucky to see 48. But guess what? I've got a different playbook. Mine's written by God.
​
Even as a child, my typewriter was more than just a machine—it was a faithful companion on my journey of words.
​
I'm all in with Jesus. Why am I still here, kicking and breathing? Because He wants me to be.
I stopped putting my faith in medical journals a long time ago. My message? God is good, all the time, and I'll shout it from the rooftops as long as I've got breath.
Day-to-day? I'm juggling—like all of us. Dirty laundry, packed lunches, and keeping the dust bunnies at bay. Plus, soaking up all the moments I can with my dream guy and our hockey-loving kiddo. Sometimes, I'm ticking off items on my bucket list, and other days I'm here with you, getting all my thoughts down on paper—or, well, a screen.
When I'm not busy sending out my rescued letters to the world, you'll find me cooking up a storm, drowning in library books, or happily nerding out over everything Disney.
​
I drool over office supplies and colored pens. And bookstores. My favorite dessert is the molten lava chocolate cake from Chili’s.

So we commit every day to help vulnerable children thrive by empowering their caregivers with training and resources. All to work toward a world where every child is treasured in their community and transformed by the love of Jesus.
Restorative Transitions mission is to empower justice-involved individuals through holistic care so they can transition into the community and experience restoration through Christ.
Refugee Hope Partners exists to love our refugee neighbors with the hope of the gospel in partnership with the local church.

THE HEART BEHIND FEAST TOGETHER
OUR PASSION IS THAT WOMEN KNOW AND BELIEVE THEY ARE SEEN AND LOVED BY OTHERS AND BY GOD, WHO HAS A PURPOSE AND UNIQUE PLAN FOR EACH OF US.
we are not meant to do life alone, but to be in community, encouraging, caring for and walking alongside one another. our desire is to see women connect with God, other women, and the local church in a deeper way.
