About Me

Photographer. Teacher. Student of much. Mother to many. Shoulder to cry on. Friend to laugh with. Lover of souls. Dancer. Listener. Drummer. Friend. Sister. Accepting. Progressing. Living simply. Following Jesus.We’re all searching for something, I’m one of the lucky ones who has found their calling, their place on this planet, their purpose in life, their home away from home. I spend every day with the children of the Hope House orphanage, teaching them, nurturing them, loving them, laughing and crying with them. I have been changed. Hopefully in some small way they have been too.In John 10:10 Jesus said he came to give life in all its fullness; an abundant life!As the Programs Director of the Hope House orphanage - it is my job to not only build relationships with our children but also to help them live the full and abundant life Jesus spoke of. We do not just want to provide a place to live and a warm meal. We want our children to know Jesus and to experience life and all the wonderful things it has to offer; to be filled with joy and laughter...
