Born at Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles during one of the city’s largest earthquakes, I took my first breath as the building swayed and the gurney rolled—my parents recount a dramatic beginning marked by both chaos and grace.

Life since then has been rich with God’s goodness, meaningful relationships, and profound learning. It has also brought seasons of hardship, loss, and shame—yet grace has always abounded.

I am the mother of seven children, two of whom are already in heaven. My five God-fearing, compassionate, and well-educated adult children live across five U.S. states. My greatest joy is spending time with them and my 12 adorable grandchildren.

I’ve spent most of my life working in healthcare and continue to serve part time in my orofacial myofunctional therapy private practice in San Diego County and beyond.

I am passionate about proclaiming all that God has done.
