I am a woman who has fallen in love with Jesus. I am a Colorado native but raised in Minnesota. My professional background is in Public Health and Human Services. I love to smile, laugh, sing, (only for Jesus), and dance. I love the ocean and the stillness found in the early morning hours. 

As a little girl my passion was always to help others and to speak up for those who could not speak up for themselves. It is from this passion and my personal healing journey, that I was led to organize this ministry, Giving It A Voice. 

My goal is for you to identify your God given purpose, discover your voice, and grow in confidence by encountering the same God, the same Jesus that unraveled me.

I am a Minnesota native- raised in South Minneapolis for most of my life, and I am a father of one son. I work in Public Health and Human Services, and I am a photographer. I am passionate about family, community, youth, and living in YAHWEH's presence.

​

I want to show youth the many positive sides of our communities; inform of experiences and opportunities that many may not be aware of; help to discover their God-given talents and gifts; overcome the adversity and negative perception that news, social media, and even peers may constantly portray and push upon them, and for them to become the change that they want to see; knowing that they are valued and valuable to our community.

I hold a position on the board of Giving It A Voice and started my involvement with the nonprofit ministry as a mentor during the pilot of the “Who Am I Project.”

I am driven by a calling to be an advocate for young people and to share the love of Christ through faith and action. I am passionate about the word of God and believe that there is so much freedom in creating spaces to come as you are, young or old, to not only receive healing but to walk in healing.

I received a B.S. in Finance from the University of Minnesota — Carlson School of Management and currently work in Finance in the healthcare industry.
