Born and raised in SoCal, I am passionate about Jesus, the outdoors and seeing people come fully alive to the call of God on their life. I believe that life is a gift from God and how we live it is our gift back to him. I want to live it well. I would imagine you do too!
​
For 33 years I served as a pastor at my home church. Youth ministry, small groups, leadership development, executive leadership–I was entrusted with some incredible opportunities. The last couple of years I have had the privilege of serving on team with Propel Women where we developed and launched Propel Ecclesia: Coaching for Women in Ministry. Truth be told, I am and always have been a coach at heart. I love Propel Ecclesia and continue to coach with them on the side. I am also a certified professional life coach and a certified RevWild outdoor leader.
As a little girl I played life “full out”--adventure has always been one of my core values. This love for adventure has led to all types of outdoor experiences: trail-running, backpacking, canyoneering, whitewater rafting, ultra-marathoning. I find the image of a trail to be a powerful metaphor for what it looks like to follow Jesus.

This Wayfaring Life brings together my faith, my love for coaching and my outdoor experience and combines it with a deep desire to see others come fully alive to the call of God on their life.
