I am passionate about empowering others to live with authenticity, purpose, and passion. Alongside my husband, Eric, I had the privilege of co-founding Citygate Church—a vibrant, multi-ethnic, multi-generational community where we are dedicated to rescuing the lost, building the found, and equipping believers to walk boldly in their faith. I have a heart for women and the next generation, and it’s my deepest joy to see lives transformed as people step into their God-given destiny.

As a speaker, I am driven by a longing to see the body of Christ operate in the authority and power of the Holy Spirit, bringing the kingdom of Heaven to Earth.

I’m also the visionary behind Create a Place devotion magazine and several mentorship groups, where I share my passion for helping others grow spiritually and live in complete health—body, soul, and spirit—grounded in the truth of 3 John 1:2. God prepared my heart for ministry during my years as a teacher in the inner-city classroom. It was there I discovered my gift for connecting with people and planting seeds of hope. Teaching is still a core part of who I am, and I’ve found that my best ideas often come when I’m on the move—because let’s be honest, sitting still has never been my strong suit!

At home in Cincinnati, Eric and I are blessed to raise our two amazing children, Saige and Rush. We cherish time outdoors, enjoy the thrill of theme parks, and hold fast to our sacred Sunday night tradition: pizza night! I’m also a self-proclaimed “crunchy” person—I name my plants and treat them like pets—and I can never resist the temptation of hot donuts (my ultimate kryptonite).

Through every part of my life, I strive to live passionately, serve wholeheartedly, and love unconditionally. It’s my mission to empower others to walk in their purpose and experience the fullness of God’s love and presence.
