I am a proud graduate of the University of North Florida where I received a BA in political science with a minor in communications. I went on to receive a Masters of Public Administration from the American University and a Certificate of Ministry from Calvary Bible Institute.

I’m a former school teacher who has enjoyed a career working for Congress, the Department of Defense (DoD), and worked on multiple local, state, and federal political campaigns. I’m currently a Congressional Liaison Officer for the DoD.

I was drawn to TRP by the stellar leadership of its visionary. The passion for Christ, the love for His people, and desire for the believer and nonbeliever to grow in God’s love tugged at my heartstrings and persuaded me to do all that I could to ensure TRPs vision be realized.
