My Dream and Desire is to see every Women Encouraged, Empowered and Inspired to serve Jesus. 

     I founded and host a podcast called “The Woven Story”. My great passion behind starting this community and podcast for women is that women’s stories are told from all around the world. I believe that every women is influential in their circle and their stories are important. My heart is that more people come to know Jesus through these stories. 

I am a mom of 3 kids & 3 dogs. I absolutely love my job where I get to co-lead with Ben, my husband of 18 years, an International Company comprised of tens of thousands of women. As I’ve traveled for work over the last 2 decades, it’s been a great privilege to meet 1000’s of women from all over the world and hear their remarkable stories of hope, courage & strength. Our stories have the power to impact others in ways we can’t even fathom.
