"I can’t express how honored and excited I am to meet each of you and walk with you this year through the cohort. It’s my great joy to hear your stories, hear what the Lord is doing, rejoice with you, and see God move in your lives in mighty and often unexpected ways! My encouragement to you is to be expectant, press in, be vulnerable, and don’t discount what the Lord can and will do!

As a Pediatric Registered Nurse, licensed and ordained Foursquare Pastor, and mom to 5 young children life is never dull. My husband Ben and I have been married for 12 years now and are in the sweetest season of marriage as we get to lead and serve together. We co-lead pastor a church in Southeastern Idaho, where we’ve been for the past 7 years, but we’ve been in ministry together for the past 14 years. Our beautiful gifts from the Lord are Zadok, Grace, Ezriella, Adaliah, and Hannah. Homeschooling, gardening, hiking, and reading are just some of the things that I fill my time with and bring me great joy. But mostly I just love the opportunities I have to meet new people, love on people, and see them take steps with Jesus.

I graduated WIML in the spring of 2025 and knew that this was a ministry that the Lord was calling me to partner with. As a woman leader, that is not to be taken lightly in this culture, and the Lord has called me to be a bold prophetic voice of truth and freedom, leading in Holy Spirit Empowerment with expectation to see lives healed and chains broken. My heart is to encourage the body of Christ to rise above trials and by God’s grace walk in greater resilience and strength. It was out of a broken and difficult season that the Lord used these lessons to lead to the birth of a ministry via social media that I have recently launched called “Fortified by Fire.” The trials we walk through are not the end but are rather just the beginning of something so much more.

It’s my hope for each of you in this season that you would be empowered by the Spirit and emboldened, and come to a place of greater understanding of who the giver of life and identity has called you to be!”
