My Story

I'm a wife, mother, and grandmother who believes we are all put on this earth with a special purpose and uniqueness, and that life is an enjoyable journey despite its heartaches and losses. I believe we don't cross paths with others by accident, but to encourage and strengthen each other along the way. Raised on the Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast in Mexico Beach—a quaint seaside community just five miles long with a few hundred residents and no traffic lights—I developed a deep love for nature and the outdoors. I moved to Alabama to attend college, soon graduated and started my family. It has been a wonderful journey, full of ups and downs, and many lessons. I am extremely proud of my husband, two adult daughters, and toddler grandson. A person of Christian faith, I believe love is a driving force, and I am passionate about facilitating others along their journey.

My Journey

From the bustling streets of the United States to the quiet corners of Brazil and Russia, my career has been a passionate blend of leadership, service, and global outreach. With over twenty years in executive stewardship, I've dedicated myself to making a difference in the lives of those facing enormous challenges. Recently, as the regional director for, during the time of my tenor, the leading national nonprofit organization battling family homelessness, I had the privilege of guiding groundbreaking achievements in supporting Affiliates and advancing national initiatives. Before this, I poured my heart into serving as the Executive Director of my local Affiliate, where I found immense joy and purpose. My extensive journey also includes transformative roles with United Ministries and impactful positions within the Alabama Department of Human Resources’ foster care system, child protective services and adult services.

Academia has also been a significant part of my story. At the University of Alabama School of Social Work, I shared my knowledge and experiences, hoping to inspire the next generation of social workers. My adventures took me abroad as well, where I worked in impoverished communities and orphanages in Brazil and Russia, striving to bring hope and aid to the most vulnerable.

Balancing my professional endeavors, my faith journey has been equally fulfilling. Alongside my husband, an elder in the United Methodist Church, I have cherished roles in various church communities - teaching, leading worship, crafting curriculums, and fostering discipleship.

Each chapter of my career and life has been driven by a heart eager to serve and a steadfast belief that we can build a better world together.

My Values

At the heart of my approach is a deep faith commitment to community and family. Growing up in a small township, I cherish the values of resilience and togetherness. Alongside my husband, Rev.

I believe in living each day to its fullest and am determined to leave the world a better place through my work.

Life Verse
“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
