About Me
Having over 30 years of experience as a teacher—both in the classroom and privately—I’ve learned one thing for sure: laughter and purpose go hand in hand. As a Board Certified Life Coach, Christian comedian, and motivational speaker, my mission is to help others find joy and meaning in their journey, no matter where they are or what they’re facing. Whether I’m on stage making people laugh or sitting one-on-one offering guidance, I rely on the strength of the Lord to lead me and carry me through. I’ve had the privilege of speaking at numerous events, combining humor, heart, and faith to inspire hope and transformation. Life is tough, but with a little laughter and a lot of God's grace, we can navigate it together.
What makes me SMILE?
God has steadied my heart more than once while giving me joy through His strength to face many storms in my life. Even through miscarriages and surviving stage 2 breast cancer, I could still smile and laugh at the days to come, knowing my purpose and eagerly anticipating the “big reveal” of His plan for my life.
I smile because that’s how He made me: joy-FULL, to dwell on the things that are lovely and inspire others to do so.
What helps me SUCCEED?
As someone learning to let go of perfectionism, I’ve come to realize that my idea of success doesn’t always align with God’s. While pursuing excellence can be a good thing, it’s easy to start measuring our value by worldly achievements. However, true success isn’t found in what we accomplish — it’s in understanding who we were created to be and the unique purpose God has given us.
I succeed when I am living from my God-given identity and find real joy, peace, passion and fulfillment from that calling.
