As Director of Encourage Foster Care, I am deeply passionate about helping children experience their worth in Christ. My desire is to lead by example, serving alongside families, staff, and community partners with humility, compassion, and purpose. I am committed to equipping and encouraging foster families while continuing to share the urgent need for more families to step forward and provide safe, loving homes. Every child deserves the opportunity to know they are cherished and to experience the love of Christ through caring relationships and supportive communities. Outside of my work, my greatest joy is time spent with my husband, Rob, of 33 years, our five adult children, and our eight beautiful grandchildren.
