As a vivacious people person, I have traveled and been involved in church ministries, non-profit organizations and contributed to outreach programs focused on improving the community. I find my passion in helping others and bringing people together. Through a season of being a part of YWAM (a missions university) I facilitated local, nationwide and global missions aimed at building churches, homes, shelters for battered women, as well as counsel teens and pregnant women in need. I moved back to Santa Barbara in 2013, putting my talents to work for the Chamber of Commerce where my philanthropic gifts brought me to work in co-working spaces where I am surrounded by thriving professionals. Along with my husband and two kids, I can’t get enough of being a part of enriching our community!
