ABOUT ME:

Let me introduce myself as I would love for you to get to know me. Who am I, I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend, life coach/mentor, volunteer and most of all a child of God!

Wife

I am a wife for 41 years who understands the commitment of marriage and God’s principles for marriage. I have participated in many marriage seminars including Family Life and Love and Respect as well as sat under the teaching of many other Christian marriage speakers and their seminars.

Mother

I have four adult children.  I have homeschooled my four children for eight years.  I have established and led a homeschooling group for 40 homeschooling families.  I have experienced not only homeschooling but have had my kids in Christian and public schools.   I have taught as a teacher and a substitute teacher in Christian schools as well as a Sunday School teacher.  I have facilitated along with my husband parenting groups.

Grandmother

I am a grandmother of six beautiful grandchildren.  Four boys and two girls ranging from ages two through 10.  I have had the opportunity and blessing of especially helping my single parent daughter with her three small children the last three years. 

Childhood

I have grown up in a dysfunctional family with five siblings.  I have not only learned to be not an overcomer of my circumstances but have been able to thrive and be successful in life.  I understand what it is like to work through your fears and anxieties with God’s help.  I come from parents who  eventually divorced after many years of domestic violence.

Caretaker

I am a caretaker for an elderly woman in my community who has no family members.  I oversee that her physical, financial, emotional and spiritual needs are met.  I also assist in needs of my elderly parents and inlaws when needed.  As a life coach, I have interned in a nursing home ministering to the elderly emotionally and spiritually.

Volunteer for my community

I am and have been a volunteer the last 14 years for CERT (Community Emergency Rescue Team).  Trained for medical and emergencies as a second respondent for my community.  I spent many days and hours helping the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

I am a volunteer coordinator for my church for angel tree ministries.  Distributing gifts to children of incarcerated parents at Christmas time and reaching out to them during the year.

Professional

As a paralegal, I have had a law background of not only an associate degree but over 25 years of working in the legal field.  I am experienced in Matrimonial, Real Estate, Personal Injury, Estate, Bankruptcy and Landlord Tenant law.  I have had the opportunity to walk clients through the steps of their legal situations with my knowledge and compassion.

Life Coach/Mentor

I have been a mentor to women and have mentored women one on one and in a group setting.  I have led women’s prayer and bible studies and presently lead a women’s prayer group.  As an overcomer I have dedicated my life to helping others overcome their obstacles whether they are internal or external, and also be successful in life. I am attentive.  I am attentive to what you are saying and want to help you come to an understanding of what is heavy on your heart and what you want to accomplish in your life whether, emotionally, spiritually, physically or financially.  I have a heart for hurting woman especially.

God’s child

I have been Christian for over 42 years.  Having Christ as my  personal savior and the Lord of my life.   The Lord has helped me overcome my personal obstacles in my life and to not just survive this life but thrive.  I have the understanding and have experienced  trusting the Lord and calling on him to provide my needs whether spiritual, physical, emotional or financial.
