I never thought I would tell my story.

I grew up in a world where truth was a liability, so I learned to construct a mask so believable I didn’t realize I was disappearing behind it.

After a fake-it-till-you-make-it faith, cancer, and relationships that dismantled my sense of self so methodically, I mistook a threadbare version of my life as my destiny, Now, I am building the life I was created for all along, knowing a meaningful life isn’t striving for the ball-gown version of myself. It comes with rain, too. God has taught me to find joy in both.

Today I am a speaker, a writer, and a coach for those seeking to discover the peace and beauty of living authentically.

I have shared some of my story on national platforms like Catholic Answers and The Journey Home, and currently I offer talks and retreats for audiences of all ages.

I am a recovering perfectionist. A cancer thriver. A pilgrim. A wolverine.
