At my core, I am a friend of Jesus who finds joy in meeting people who are passionate about bringing truth and real hope to the lost, hurting, and broken. I’ve faced many personal challenges throughout my life, and these experiences have shaped my mission: combining my work and personal journey to help others find a saving relationship with Jesus.

My early career was in human resources, working with Lord & Taylor and Westinghouse Communities, as well as with real estate development firms in Naples. I later transitioned into administrative and marketing roles for high net worth financial planners. My journey took a turn when I delved into volunteer work, which led me into strategic planning, marketing, and public relations. This new path inspired me to found Esprit de Vie (Spirit of Life), a marketing consulting firm in Southwest Florida. This venture opened the door to my role as Public Relations Director with Sky Angel Faith & Family TV.

My entry into the world of fundraising began with Praise FM 89.5 in Naples, where I worked in Business Development and Marketing. My career in this field expanded with roles at The Salvation Army Naples and the Harry Chapin Food Bank. I also served as a multi-state Major Gift Officer with Prison Fellowship for over five years. Currently, I am the Partner Engagement Officer with 4KIDS in Southwest Florida, where I dedicate myself to raising funds to support foster children and families in crisis, working closely with Christian foster parents and church partnerships.

I am proud to be a commissioned Colson Fellow from the Class of 2023, part of the Tampa cohort. I am also a covenant member at Life Church in Fort Myers, Florida, where I volunteer as a camera operator. My commitment to service extends beyond my professional roles, as I actively volunteer with numerous organizations in Southwest Florida. In my personal time, I enjoy adult contemporary Christian music, cherish moments spent on or near the water, and love reading on a wide range of topics. My life is also enriched by my FRAMily – friends who have become like family to me – and my hobby of collecting miniature furniture for my English garden dollhouse.
