About
Author and Intercessor
My calling is deeply rooted in faith, service, and healing, and I believe true transformation begins when we speak life, serve with love, and pray with purpose. As an author, I’ve been blessed to share my journey through three books that reflect the essence of who I am and what I believe: As an intercessor, I have been divinely appointed to stand in authority, bridging heaven and earth through prayer. Saying 'Yes' to this call has been one of the most powerful and life-defining decisions I’ve ever made. It is an honor to war in the Spirit, to shift atmospheres, and to boldly declare God’s Kingdom come. This isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am.
Pray That Word: Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say
Unlock the integrity of God’s promises through the power of prayer. This book is a timeless guide for individuals of all ages, reminding us that God’s word is infallible, and His promises are unwavering.
Pray That Word: Pretty Girls
Dive into a 5-week journey of spiritual growth tailored for young ladies. Through daily devotionals, we’ll explore the beauty of praying God’s word and how it can shape our lives and identities.
In Jesus Name, "I AM"
This is a 3-volume affirmation series—filled with powerful, heartfelt declarations I personally speak over my life every day. These words have built my faith, shaped my identity, and now I’m sharing them with you. Each volume is designed to inspire, uplift, and remind us that our lives follow the direction of the words we speak. Let’s grow together—one “I AM” at a time.
Author and Intercessor
As an author, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to share my faith journey and insights through two books: “Pray That Word: Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say” and “Pray That Word: Pretty Girls.” These books reflect my heart’s desire to inspire individuals of all ages, particularly young ladies, to embrace the promises of God and experience His transformative power through prayer.
An Advocate for the Community
I am a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, called to serve with compassion, purpose, and faith. My passion runs deep for community health, patient-centered care, and uplifting underserved populations. But my work doesn’t stop in the clinic—I speak to the community, bringing vital health education, hope, and empowerment wherever I go. I show up authentically every day—unapologetic in my faith, unwavering in my commitment to service. Prayer is my foundation, and compassion is my language. I believe that healing is holistic—body, mind, and spirit—and our community needs more than just medicine; it needs hope. Whether I’m leading health workshops, praying with patients, writing faith-filled books, or standing in the gap as an intercessor, my mission is clear: to build stronger, healthier, more empowered communities. Because when we walk together in love and truth, we rise together. Let’s care. Let’s connect. Let’s build a Healthy Community, Wealthy Community—together.
Walking in Purpose
I firmly believe that my role as a Nurse Practitioner is intricately connected to my calling as an intercessory prayer minister. Guided by Isaiah 61:1-3, I am compelled to bring hope, healing, and restoration to those I encounter, both in the medical field, community, and in ministry.
