In 2015 we were invited to The Refinery by friends and instantly felt welcomed, seen and heard. It felt like home.

I was a homeschooling stay-at-home mom, ministering to my children and family and now have the blessing of serving as the Students & Women's Pastor.

I love to write and read commentaries about how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies. I have a heart for the next generation, a passion to reach those far from God, and a deep love for inspiring women to live in their identity as daughters of the King.

Many may not know this but I was raised Jewish and didn't get to know Jesus until my 20s. Fun fact: I carry hot sauce in my purse at all times!
