About

Having struggled with school and learning for many years, the cycle was broken in my mid-twenties as I began to succeed after having a couple of engaging teachers who communicated and encouraged the learner in me.  I graduated with honors and was later accepted to the University of Southern California. These two events have become milestones that help me inspire others to work toward and achieve their goals, hopes, and dreams.   

I hold a B.A. Biblical Studies from San Diego Christian College in El Cajon, an M.A. in Clinical Christian Counseling from Colorado Theological Seminary, and gained my CPLC (Certified Professional Life Coach) from the Christian Coach Institute. I earned an ACC credential from the International Coaching Federation and hold a Teaching Diploma from the Evangelical Training Association in Wheaton, Ill., and a Certification in Temperament Therapy from the National Christian Counselors Association. I am recognized as a Grief Recovery Method Specialist and am a member of the International Coaching Federation, American Association of Christian Counselors, and the International Christian Coaches Association.

As a commissioned minister of Pastoral Care from the National Conservative Christian Church/Experience Church, I have served in ministry for many years in various roles, including adult Sunday School co-director, part of a church planting team in Phoenix, AZ, nursery director, director of Women’s Ministry, director of Children’s Ministry and Chaplain for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Rapid Response Team.
