She has been featured in St. Augustine Catholic magazine, where she shares her deeply personal journey - from navigating the impact of addiction in her family to finding strength in her faith and founding Grace & Recovery Foundation.

She once protested the Catholic Church, but in 2017, she answered the call to join it. As a mom, wife, and a woman who has dedicated over 30 years to serving in various ministries, she has a heart for leading others to Christ. In 2019, she had a life-altering prayer experience where she heard Jesus ask her to lead and disciple young people. In response, she began sharing the stories she "least wanted to share" to help teens find healing.
Now, as a graduate of Encounter Ministries, she is dedicated to her kingdom dream: leading teens and young adults through their pain to a loving relationship with Jesus. She believes that healed young people help heal families, which in turn heals the Church. Join her as she shares her journey, stories of faith, and her favorite moments—whether it's at the beach in Maine or helping teens have life-changing encounters with Christ at Damascus Catholic Youth Camp.
For the past 5 years, I have planned, raised funds, and removed the financial barriers for teens to have life-changing encounters with Christ Jesus and the sacraments. My prayer is to take as many teens as possible to Damascus Catholic Youth Camp each summer, where they have life-changing encounters with Jesus. Healed young people help heal families, which helps heal the church.
