Originally from Missouri, I left home to attend college and there met my husband Steve. After his graduation, we moved to West Virginia where I completed my bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in elementary and special education. After completing school, I taught in a class for preschool children with disabilities.

After five years in West Virginia, we moved to Kentucky where I enjoyed being a stay home mom to our four children for 16 years. I eventually went back to the classroom and spent six years as a special education teacher in Kentucky and one year in Tennessee with preschool through sixth grade students who had moderate and severe disabilities.

Since 2010, I have worked for the Southeast Institute of Biblical Studies as an adjunct faculty member in the women’s program and librarian. I also serve as the director of “Forever His,” a ministry that serves children with disabilities and their families .

In addition to my work, I enjoy writing, baking, old movies, and genealogy. My first book, “Forever His: A Guide to Building a Special Needs Ministry” was published in 2018. In 2020, my husband Steve and I co-authored a book, “When the Prodigal is Your Prodigal.”
