As a Wichita native, I’m grateful to serve the community where I grew up. My husband, David, and I have been married for 28 years, and during our 20 years in Dallas, Texas, we raised our children, planted churches, and served in ministry focused on equipping and supporting under-resourced communities. In 2019, we felt called back home to Kansas, and in 2020 we planted Mosaic Life Church, where we continue to pastor and serve. Throughout the year, I also speak at churches, workshops, women’s retreats, and international events.
I’m honored to be part of the work of poverty reduction and community transformation. After attending my first Getting Ahead graduation, I was deeply moved by the stories of the graduates and the hope they carried for their futures and the futures of their children. Joining HopeNet and leading the BridgesICT program aligns closely with my passion for generational change, restoring hope, and creating opportunities for individuals and families to thrive. I believe every person deserves dignity, opportunity, and hope, and I’m grateful to combine faith, leadership, and community impact in the work I do.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, writing, and gardening, but one of my greatest joys is spending time with my family and hearing their laughter around the table.
