I'm an Onslow County native, wife, soccer mom, current teacher assistant, former newspaper editor, and former small business owner. I'm also the Director of The Blessing Collective, where my passion for serving others has grown into a mission to help meet the needs of local families and students with dignity and compassion.

My heart for this work comes from years of watching proud, hardworking adults struggle to ask for the help they need. I understand that sometimes pride, fear, or simply not knowing where to turn can stand between a person and the resources they need to get through a difficult season.

I tried to outrun this calling for a long time. But when God has a plan, there's really no avoiding it.

Through The Blessing Collective, I believe God's goodness was never meant to be contained. My goal is simple: serve my community, love people, and make sure no one feels ashamed for needing a little help along the way.
