ON A PERSONAL NOTE:

I have grown up in the church and have found that the one true source of hope in my life is Jesus. I am in awe of God’s creation, and I enjoy seeing His beauty through nature. I have been married to my wonderful husband since 2015 and we now have two beautiful kids. My prayer for my clients is found in Isaiah 58:11, “The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”
