Originally from New Jersey and later Pennsylvania, the Lord blessed me with growing up in mission-minded churches and communities. I was called to be a missionary in my teens, and the Lord led me to Bible school in Colorado (Ravencrest Chalet, Torchbearers International) and to earn my university degree at Asbury University (Kentucky). During my years at Asbury, I had the opportunity to join a ministry team to Kenya, where I discovered the work and ministries of World Gospel Mission. The Lord used that time to lead me into full-time ministry with WGM.

I have now served with WGM as a teacher and youth leader in a variety of locations, including Teaching at the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center in Bolivia (1990–2002); teaching at Heritage International School and helping HIS and the Africa Gospel Church youth ministries in Uganda (2003–2014); and briefly in Argentina (2015), helping to train Latin American missionaries in conversational English. In 2016 to 2017, I served with Texas/Mexico Border Ministries as the interim director of Taylor Christian School in McAllen, Texas. From 2018–2020, I returned to serve in Uganda teaching at Heritage International School & working in HIS youth ministries. 

I returned Stateside in 2020 and was listed under Special Assignment in 2021. I now serve with our World Gospel Mission Headquarters team as an Education Specialist. This means that I get to help train and educate new and veteran missionaries! I’m so thankful to be used in training and equipping missionaries to be more effective in ministries.

WGM serves in more than thirty locations globally. The training I help with and materials I work to develop support our missionaries to improve in leadership as they do Kingdom-building work. Please pray with me that I will faithfully and boldly follow Jesus as He uses me to educate missionaries and impact the World for HIS Glory. Pray for creativity and insight as we work to disciple and mentor many around the world. Thank you, and may the Lord Jesus bless you abundantly.
