Ministry Specialties - My special gifting is evangelism and mercy (compassion).

Mission Statement - God has recently placed a new calling on my life to step out of the business world and speak for Him. My passion is to reach women and bring them into the Light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to speak to groups and work with individuals one to one like Jesus did with his disciples.

Ministry Background - I have taught Sunday School for six years and have been on Women's Ministry team for three years. I am just starting to work as a small group leader for Middle School girls. I also volunteer at PRC, Pregnancy Resource Center, as a receptionist and am training to be a peer counselor and on their speaking bureau.

Professional Background - Insurance Marketing & Mutual Fund Sales, 18 years.

Educational Background - BA, Management of Human Resources from George Fox University. Currently working toward Masters degree, with emphasis on Pastoral Care to Women, at Western Seminary

Speaking Level - Just Beginning (0-9 events)

Speaking Experience - I had a weekly speaking opportunity in the 90's when I was the secretary of a club and read the minutes in front of the club each meeting. I was the Charter President of a local Lion's Club in 2004-2005 and lead every meeting. I had an opportunity to speak for Toastmasters and be critiqued according to their criteria and received a perfect score. While in the insurance industry, I made numerous presentations in small group settings and one to one meetings. I was also asked to train others on a regular basis.
