In 2006, at age thirty-nine, I was enjoying life as a stay-at-home mom when I received a breast cancer diagnosis. Through that season, Jesus was my anchor, and the profound encounters I had with Him unlocked deep spiritual healing. This journey ignited a passion to help others address the spiritual side of cancer, and since 2015, I have led weekly prayer meetings to fight cancer with prayer.
I began my professional career as an analytical chemist and later served as a project manager in both corporate and ministry environments. Since 2009, I have been actively involved with the Kampala Children’s Centre in Uganda and currently serve as Director of Growth and Sustainability for Destiny Africa, Inc.
When I am not working or ministering, I enjoy boating, baking sourdough, reading, walking, and hiking. I live on the Connecticut shoreline with my husband, an innovator who develops technologies for cancer research and the treatment of other diseases. We are the proud parents of two adult children.
