I hold an Associate of Arts degree from William Tyndale College, Biblical Lay Counselor certification from Moody Bible Institute, and have received public speaking training from Speak Up and She Speaks.

In addition to being a CF Certified Parent Coach, I am also the Women’s Ministry Director at Kenmore Alliance Church, and mother of three young adults. My parenting journey was a bumpy one, eventually landing me on my face before God. I have found a tremendous amount of hope and guidance from Connected Families, and it is my desire to pass that on to other parents who are looking for the same thing!
