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!

I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a certification in Early Childhood education. I have taught overseas in private education as well as in public education in the States. I have served in Children and Family Ministry for over 15 years and I am currently the Director of Church Ministries, a Connected Families Parent Coach and have a Connected Families partnership with our church in Murrells Inlet. I teach Connected Families courses and speak in workshops around the region. I partner with Motorvate Kids, a pediatric occupational therapy group in Myrtle Beach; HopeDiscipleship a Biblical counseling 503c non-profit and various other schools and churches in the area.

We’re trained in the framework that weaves together the Gospel truth, neuroscience and practical strategies to help parents discipline with connection and grace. As a Catholic couple raising our own children, we speak from real-life experience, sharing honestly about the struggles, breakthroughs, and holy moments of everyday family life. We are passionate about equipping parents to live out their vocation as the leaders of the domestic church. We’ve led workshops, retreats, and small group courses and are comfortable leading them both in person and online. We are grateful for the consistent feedback on the clarity, warmth, and impact of our presentations. We communicate with energy and vulnerability, making complex concepts easy to grasp and apply. Bilingual and culturally aware, we love serving diverse communities and continually invest in our own learning to offer parents relevant, compassionate support. We’d love to hear more about your event and explore how we can help bring your vision to life. Let’s connect. We can’t wait to serve alongside you.
