Vicki Kloosterhouse Ph.D.

Dr. Vicki Kloosterhouse has had the privilege of working with both men and women around the world. Though she enjoys working with both, she has a special heart for women.

Vicki grew up on a farm in a rural community in the Midwest. She watched as women cared for their families, worked on the farm, and served in the community. They were strong women who did not easily give up and persevered through hard times. From early on, she learned to admire women and their contributions to society.

Vicki’s travels have heightened her appreciation for women. She has observed that women around the world share many of the same aspirations, concerns, and challenges. They often question—am I of value, do I have a purpose? Her desire is to help women grasp that they are valuable, strong, and capable of facing challenges. Vicki believes when women embrace that God has created them to be His image bearers, they will find their value and strength to move forward.

Vicki has spoken internationally on topics of leadership, stress management, and women’s issues. She has conducted stress management training for relief workers in hot spots around the world and has taught in higher education on three continents. Vicki worked with Empower Women Leaders to design and implement The Women’s Bucket Brigade—a grassroots project that equipped Liberian women to train neighbors in Ebola prevention, which included the distribution of buckets and disinfectants. She currently serves on the Board of Equipping Leaders International and is a member of the Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force.
